How to Make Banana Macadamia Nut Bread

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. In a medium bowl, mash 3 ripe bananas with a fork. Add the mashed bananas, 2 large eggs, and 1 cup macadamia nuts to the batter. Stir until evenly distributed.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly.
  7. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Start checking at 50 minutes.
  8. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
