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!
Banana Bread with Walnuts
Ingredients
- 3 bananas , ripe, smashed
- ⅓ cup butter melted
- ¾ cup sugar
- 1 egg beaten
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

Instructions
- 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.

SO GOOD! And it’s easy- double bonus! I only cooked mine 50 minutes the first time and that was a little too done to me. I reduced the cook time the next time to 35 minutes and it was perfect. Definitely pinned and will use again and again!
Super delicious and easy to make. I make it healthier by substituting half the flour quantity with whole wheat flour and use half the quantity of plain flour. Then I add the extra calories by topping it with loads of good fresh butter
I loved it Especially with the walnuts in it and taste amazing
Awesome banana bread, so easy to make, delicious!!
Does this recipe double nicely? Thanks
I just made this Wonderful Banana Bread for the 1st time. It was So Simple and Easy to follow the recipe. But most of all IT WAS DELICIOUS! I just wanted to share my one Simple hack on the mashed bananas, I started peeling the bananas into a quart size storage bag to mash them, No wooden spoon, and then it slides out of the bag So Easily, I then throw the Banana peels into the bag and toss.
I always use this recipe and have for I don’t even know how many years now but I add half cup of Greek yogurt. It’s always delicious!!
I loaf is never enough! I always double the recipe and there are only 2 of us! It freezes really well but mine never makes it to the freezer. So simple and truly delicious. Thank you
