A delightful banana bread recipe with a touch of cinnamon and crunchy walnuts, perfect for any occasion.
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and grease a loaf pan.
Greasing the pan ensures the loaf doesn't stick, making it easier to remove.
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
Sifting the dry ingredients together helps to evenly distribute the baking soda and cinnamon.
In another bowl, mash the bananas and mix in the brown sugar, granulated sugar, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract.
Using overripe bananas enhances the sweetness and flavor of the loaf.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Avoid overmixing to keep the loaf tender.
Fold in the chopped walnuts.
Chopping the walnuts into smaller pieces ensures even distribution throughout the loaf.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
Tap the pan gently on the counter to remove any air bubbles.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Check the loaf at 50 minutes to prevent overbaking.
Let the loaf cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Cooling the loaf completely ensures it slices cleanly.
Slice and serve your banana walnut loaf. Enjoy!
Pair with a cup of tea or coffee for a delightful treat.
