How to Make Banana Bread By Williams Sonoma

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease and lightly flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter and 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy (about 2 minutes).
  4. Mash 3 very ripe bananas (about 1 ½ cups mashed) and add them to the creamed butter and sugar along with 3 large eggs. Beat until well combined.
  5. Add 1 cup buttermilk and mix until just combined.
  6. In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg, and ½ teaspoon salt. Stir in ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional).
  7. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
  8. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
  9. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
  10. Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean and the loaf is golden brown.
  11. Let the bread cool in the pan for 5 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  12. Once completely cool, slice and serve. Enjoy!
