Banana bread with walnuts – perfect breakfast and dessert recipe!
This is simply the best recipe I’ve found so far for the most moist, perfectly sweetened, and easy banana bread. I added walnuts to this recipe, but they are totally optional, even though I love my banana bread with walnuts. This recipe is so easy, you don’t even need a mixer – just mix everything with a big wooden spoon!
I’ve been eating this walnut banana bread for both breakfast and dessert for the past week and just love it!
Try this delicious banana bread with walnuts and you’ll love it as much as I do!
This is simply the best recipe for the most moist, perfectly sweetened, and easy banana bread. I added walnuts to this recipe, but they are totally optional. This recipe is so easy, you don’t even need a mixer – just mix everything with a big wooden spoon!
- 3 bananas , ripe, smashed
- 1/3 cup butter melted
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 egg beaten
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup walnuts chopped
Preheat the oven to 350 F.
In a large bowl, mix butter into the mashed bananas, using wooden spoon. Mix in the sugar, egg, and vanilla. Sprinkle the baking soda and salt over the mixture and mix in. Add the flour last, mix just enough to blend the ingredients; do not over0mix, the lumps will work themselves out.
Add chopped walnuts to the batter and mix them in to distribute evenly through the batter.
Butter a 4×8 inch loaf pan. Line the bottom of the pan with parchment paper, butter the parchment paper too. Pour the batter in the pan. Bake for 1 hour. Cool on a rack. Remove from pan and slice to serve.
Note: lining the bottom of the pan with parchment paper ensures that the bottom of the bread will not get stuck.

I had to use a 9×9 dark non stick pan and it turned out perfect at 33 minutes
Parchment on the bottom, butter all sides, then 33 minutes on 350 F.
Amazing recipe, thank you for sharing!
Just made this banana bread and it is absolutely delicious! I added dark chocolate chips and baked for just 50 minutes and it came out perfect. Such an easy recipe to follow and so so tasty – I will definitely be making it again!
I see it calls for butter but in the instructions you didn’t have when to add the butter
It’s in the 2nd step, mix butter and mashed bananas
It says mix butter into the mashed bananas
Check #2 – it says add butter when mashing banana.

Hi Julia, I tried the recipe today..and it was delicious..but the bread was very crumbly..What could be the reason? I followed the exact recipe..except I added a dash of cinnamon.
Thank you!!
I made it last week and it is SOOOOOOO GOooooOD!!!
Alright, and the Verdict is in. I was looking for a recipe that was quick, easy, not to many ingredients, and overall moist and flavorful. This recipe right here took the cake. Easy like Sunday Morning. Baby let me tell you, the only thing that I did change was I added 1/4 cup brown sugar and I added about 2 Tbs off coffee (not grounds but liquid coffee from the coffee machine). I made muffins, so instead of the entire 1hour cook time, I reduced the time to about 30 minutes or until the toothpick came out clean. Let me tell you moist, moist, moist and like somebody mentioned above it taste like something you would buy from Starbucks or any boutique coffee shop. This is a keeper. I printed this and added this to my arsenal. Thank you for sharing this recipe.
