How to Make Aidan S Banana Nut Bread
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
- In a medium bowl, sift together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, mash 3 ripe bananas with a fork. Add the mashed bananas to the creamed butter mixture.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Fold in 1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans.
- Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, frost with your favorite cream cheese frosting or lemon icing (optional).
