Banana bread with walnuts – perfect breakfast and dessert recipe!
Moist banana bread with walnuts

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!

    Dear Julia,
    I have tried so many banana bread recipes , almost every week I bake a banana bread.But nothing comes closes to your recipe.YOURS IS THE BEST!
    I did a few variations like increased the number of bananas to 5 , added cinnamon and nutmeg powders, used cane sugar and made them into muffins.
    Thanks for sharing this awesome creation of yours!

    Can you use foil instead of parchment paper at the bottom? I have wax paper and every time I use it it burns.

    This is the best banana bread I’ve ever made!
    A couple of notes: I used 2 mashed bananas and only baked for 40 minutes at 350.
    It came out perfectly! I also skipped the parchment paper and just buttered and floured the pan.

    It could be helpful to say exactly how much mashed banana to use as sizes vary a lot. Maybe it doesn’t really matter. Like I said it’s the best banana bread hands down!
    Thank you!
