Simple Banana Bread with Walnuts

🧂 Ingredients

• 2-3 Overripe bananas

  Peeled
• ⅓ Cup Butter

  Melted
• 1 ½ Cups All-Purpose Flour
• 1 tsp Baking Soda
• 1 Pinch Salt
• ¾ Cup Sugar
• 1 Large Egg
• 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
• 1 Cup Walnuts

  Chopped

Instructions

• 1 Start by preheating the oven to 350°F and measuring out all of the banana bread
  ingredients.
• 2 Then, grease a 4” x 8” loaf pan with butter or preferably vegetable shortening.
  Make sure to grease all the corners and creases.
• 3 Next, in the mixing bowl of a stand mixer, use a masher (or fork) to mash the
  peeled bananas until completely smooth.
• 4 Stir the melted butter into the mashed bananas.
• 5 Then, beat the egg with a whisk in a separate bowl. Add in the vanilla extract
  and mix again. Pour the egg mixture into the bananas and mix together using the
  stand mixer.
• 6 Next, add the flour, baking soda, sugar, and salt to the mixing bowl, mixing for
  1 minute between each addition.
• 7 After all the ingredients have been mixed into the dough, use a silicone spatula
  to fold the chopped walnuts into the dough.
• 8 Next, pour the walnut banana bread batter into the greased loaf pan and bake for
  50 minutes to 1 hour, or until a toothpick stuck in the center comes out clean.
• 9 Finally, remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10
  minutes. Then, gently remove the bread from the pan, transfer it to a cooling
  rack, and let it completely cool before serving.
