Instructions
Creating your Moist Banana Nut Bread can be as easy as following these simple steps:
1. Preheat your Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 4×8 inch loaf pan.
2. Mix Bananas and Butter: In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth. Stir in the melted butter.
3. Add Baking Soda and Salt: Mix in baking soda and a pinch of salt into the banana mixture.
4. Stir in Sugar: Add the sugar, beaten egg, and vanilla extract to the banana mixture. Mix well until combined.
5. Incorporate Flour: Add the all-purpose flour to the mixture, stirring until no dry flour remains. Be careful not to over-mix, as this could affect the texture.
6. Fold in Nuts: If desired, gently fold in the chopped walnuts or pecans for added crunch.
7. Pour Batter into Pan: Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top as needed.
8. Bake: Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
9. Cool the Bread: Once baked, remove the loaf from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. Slice and Enjoy: Once cooled, slice the bread into thick pieces and indulge in the moistness and flavor of this wonderful treat.
