Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 3 medium Ripe bananas
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter (melted)
• 0.75 cups Brown sugar
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cups Chopped walnuts

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth and free of large chunks.

Step 4

Add the melted butter to the mashed bananas and stir until combined.

Step 5

Mix in the brown sugar, egg, and vanilla extract, stirring until the mixture is smooth.

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to ensure a tender bread.

Step 7

Fold in the chopped walnuts, reserving a small handful to sprinkle on top, if desired.

Step 8

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly. If reserved walnuts, sprinkle them on top for extra crunch.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 60-65 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.

Step 10

Let the banana nut bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
