How to Make Banana Walnut Loaf Bread Machine

  1. Prepare all ingredients: Ensure bananas, eggs, and butter are at room temperature. Measure out all ingredients before starting.
  2. Add ingredients to bread machine pan in the order specified in the recipe (see ingredient list).
  3. Select the 'quick bread/cake' cycle and set the crust color to 'medium'. Start the machine.
  4. After the machine has mixed for 4 minutes, carefully open the lid and use a spatula to scrape down the sides and bottom of the pan, ensuring all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
  5. Close the lid and allow the machine to continue mixing and baking.
  6. If your bread machine allows, carefully remove the kneading paddle before the baking stage begins. (Check your machine's manual for instructions).
  7. Let the machine complete the baking cycle.
  8. Once the cycle is complete, carefully remove the loaf from the pan and transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing. This allows the bread to set and prevents it from crumbling.
  9. Once cooled, slice and serve! Enjoy your homemade Banana Walnut Loaf.
