How to Make Banana Nut Bread Butter

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Mash 4 ripe bananas thoroughly in a large bowl.
  3. In a separate bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 ½ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  5. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Stir in 1 cup chopped walnuts and ½ cup chopped pecans.
  8. Pour batter into a greased 9x5 inch loaf pan.
  9. Bake for 50-60 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.
  11. Once completely cool, slice and serve or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week, or freeze for longer storage.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
