Banana Nut Bread Recipe
Description
The Banana Nut Bread Recipe uses ripe bananas mashed into a creamy base mixed with softened butter, sugar, eggs, vanilla, and sour cream, which contributes moisture and tenderness. The dry ingredients include all-purpose or white whole wheat flour, cinnamon for warmth, baking soda for rise, and salt for balance. Chopped walnuts are folded in to add crunch and nutty flavor.
The batter is divided into greased loaf pans and baked at 325 degrees Fahrenheit for about an hour until a toothpick comes out clean, resulting in a golden crust with a soft, well-risen interior. The bread is suited for breakfast, snacks, or a casual dessert.
A note suggests using five smaller bananas if larger ones aren’t available, as the quantity affects moisture and flavor. The riper the bananas, the more flavorful and moist the bread will be.
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup butter softened
- 1 1/4 cups white sugar
- 2 egg
- 4 large banana mashed, very ripe
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour or white whole wheat
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup walnuts chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F and generously grease two loaf pans that are approximately 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 inches in size.
- Cream butter and sugar in a large bowl. Add the eggs and mix well. Add sour cream, mashed bananas, vanilla and stir to combine. Add the flour, salt, cinnamon and baking soda to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined. Fold in the walnuts and stir to combine.
- Divide the batter evenly between prepared loaf pans. Bake for 1 hour or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Notes
- If bananas are small, increase to five for the best moisture and flavor balance.
- Very ripe bananas improve the banana flavor and bread moistness.
