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.

Sorry, disregard Last comment
I just noticed the first line listed the temperature, somehow it was missed when I was baking this recipe
Thanks
hi, there was no information about the temperature you should be preheating the oven
That would have been useful. I had to read the feedback comment to figure out the temperature of the oven
I’ve tried this recipe a few times now and the best result so far has come from someone’s suggestion of adding half a cup of sour cream. I also reduced the cooking time to 45 mins and the oven temp to 320F. Moist, delicious and keeps well.
This was the best banana bread I’ve ever had! The recipe is very simple. I followed it exactly except I added a half cup of sour cream based on someone else’s comment. I baked for an hour and it came out a little crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Seriously so delicious!! Highly recommended!!!
I made this bread it was awesome .I subistuted all purpose flour with wheat flour. also I cooked the bread for 40 min.
I have made this banana loaf many times. I stick exactly to the recipe and bake for 1 hour. It is delicious and keeps moist for days . I’ve also added choc chips .
Best banana bread. I only bake for 50 minutes, one hour was too long. Forgot the walnuts, but still excellent!
I forgot to add the baking soda
Yes I also forgot the baking soda but checked and didn’t have any. I added a little bit of baking powder to get the outside just a little crispy. Other than that, I followed the recipe to the T. It smelled marvelous as it baked. I only bakes for 49 minutes.
Tried this recipe but didn’t bake for an hour. Only baked for 45 minutes and added 1/2 cup of sour cream to keep moist and it was amazing. The best recipe thus far
Is there a substitute for egg?
I made this Banana Bread the other day. It is the most Delicious recipe I have found so far.

Delicious! Follow recipe as stated and it turn out perfect!
Great flavour! It was really easy to make and it came out perfect. Love it! Thanks
I loved this recipe! I baked a cake for the first time and it took more than 1 hour to cook fully but it turned out really well! The second time it cooked exactly within an hour and I’m not sure what did I miss the first time that it didn’t cook within an hour.
Thank you for the recipe.
Best ever banana walnut bread I make it several times a month.
