Ingredients

• 1 medium (mashed) Banana
• 3 tablespoons Milk
• 2 tablespoons (softened) Butter
• 1 large Egg
• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 3 tablespoons Sugar
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Cinnamon
• 0.25 cups Chopped nuts (pecans or walnuts)
• 1.5 teaspoons Active dry yeast

Directions

Step 1

Add mashed banana, milk, softened butter, and egg to the bread machine pan.

Step 2

Sprinkle the all-purpose flour on top of the wet ingredients to form an even layer, ensuring the liquid is completely covered.

Step 3

Add sugar, salt, and cinnamon over the flour layer.

Step 4

Make a small well in the center of the dry ingredients but avoid exposing the liquid layer below.

Step 5

Place the active dry yeast in the well so it remains separate from the liquids.

Step 6

Add the chopped nuts to the corners of the bread machine pan to avoid interfering with the yeast.

Step 7

Insert the bread pan into the bread machine and secure it in place.

Step 8

Select the "Sweet Bread" or equivalent setting on your bread machine, and set the loaf size to 1 lb.

Step 9

Start the bread machine and allow it to mix, knead, rise, and bake the bread according to the machine's cycle.

Step 10

After the cycle completes and the bread is baked, carefully remove the bread pan using oven mitts.

Step 11

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