How to Make Best Banana Nut Bread
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then stir in the vanilla.
- In a separate bowl, mash the bananas until slightly chunky (or completely smooth, depending on your preference).
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Stir in the chopped walnuts or pecans.
- Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
