How to Make Banana Cornflake Bread

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, cream together ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter and ¾ cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  5. Mash 3 ripe bananas with a fork and add them to the wet ingredients. Stir in ½ cup milk or buttermilk.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Stir in 1 cup cornflakes and ½ cup chopped walnuts.
  8. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan.
  9. Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
