How to Make Small Batch Banana Nut Bread

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a standard 9x5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¾ cup granulated sugar.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 large egg, ¼ cup vegetable oil, and ½ cup milk.
  4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Don't overmix!
  5. Gently fold in 1 mashed ripe banana (about ½ cup mashed) and ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans.
  6. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
