Banana Nut Bread: New Recipe

I'm having fun, while staying home, embracing new recipes. My younger son and his wife actually complimented me on the delicious menu I served them during their 11 day stay. So fun.

This Easy Banana Nut Bread is brought to you by author Holly Nilsson. It is different than any other I have crafted. It was scrumptious.

PREP TIME 20 minutes

COOK TIME 55 minutes

TOTAL TIME 1 hour 15 minutes

SERVINGS 12 (so Holly says, ha)

Ingredients
  • 1 ½ cups flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ⅔ cup sugar
  • ¼ cup butter
  • ¼ cup shortening (I didn't have this so I doubled the butter)
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup mashed bananas about 3 medium
  • ⅔ cup pecans or walnuts, chopped (I used walnuts)
  • 1 tablespoon flour
Topping
  • 2 tablespoons walnuts
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon butter
  • ⅛ teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease and flour (or line with parchment paper) an 8x4 loaf pan.
  • Combine flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon in a small bowl. Whisk to combine.
  • With a hand mixer on medium, combine sugar, butter and shortening in a medium bowl until fluffy. Add eggs and mix well. Stir in mashed bananas.
  • Add dry ingredients and mix just until combined. Toss nuts with remaining tablespoon of flour and fold into batter.
  • Pour into prepared loaf pan. Combine topping ingredients and sprinkle over loaf.
  • Bake 55-65 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Do not overbake.
  • Cool in the pan 5 minutes. Remove from pan and cool completely on a rack.
“The smell of good bread baking,
like the sound of lightly flowing water,
is indescribable in its evocation of innocence and delight..."
