How to Make Banana Walnut Bread
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter and 1 ½ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and ½ cup milk.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Mash 3 ripe bananas with a fork until coarsely mashed. Stir in the mashed bananas and 1 cup chopped walnuts.
- Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan.
- Sprinkle the top generously with cinnamon.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Start checking at 50 minutes.
- Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
