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.

Going to try this using heart smart Bisquick
awesome, simple recipe! all ingredients can be mixed in one bowl, making clean up easy. i used vegan butter and added chocolate chips and the bake was perfect. bread rose and browned beautifully.
Awesome recipe, it’s a must. I do not bake at all my first time ever baking and it came out amazing.
Love this recipe. I add a little cinnamon and chocolate chips just because. But it’s awesome as is too.
Love this, will be my go to Banana bread recipe, except I reduced the sugar to a 1/4 cup instead of 3/4, was plenty sweet enough! Thanks you!
my cake is not cooked in the centre everytime I bake and because of which it takes more than an hour for the cake to bake! can someone tell me what is it that I am not doing right?
My oven takes a little longer too. Ovens do vary and also the pan you use can make a difference in baking times too. The best test is to bake until wooden toothpick comes out clean in the middle of the banana bread loaf.
Might want to change the temp a little bit. Depending on elevation.
