Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 Tablespoons whole milk
  • 1/3 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2-3 ripe bananas peels removed and mashed
  • 1/2 cup chopped nuts of choice (I use pecan or walnuts)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Pan

    Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease and flour 9×5 inch bread pan and set aside.

  2. Combine Ingredients

    I like using my large vintage bowl for mixing the ingredients. In a large bowl with a spatula mix together 1 3/4 cups of all-purpose flour, 2/3 cup of sugar, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 2 Tablespoons whole milk, 1/3 cup unsalted butter, 2 large eggs and 2 or 3 ripe bananas until well incorporated. Then add 1/2 cup of chopped nuts and stir thoroughly.

  3. Bake

    Pour mixture into bread pan and bake for 60 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Using oven mitts carefully remove bread pan from oven and place hot bread pan on a cooling rack. Allow to cool for about 10 minutes. Then gently remove from pan.

  4. Serve

    Cut bread with a sharp serrated bread knife and serve warm with butter (if desired) and enjoy! To make fancy little round butter balls use a melon baller like this.

  5. Store

    After bread has cooled completely store in a sealed container for up to 4-5 days at room temperature. If kept in the refrigerator the bread may last even longer; if it’s not eaten by then.
