Provided by The Pantry Elf

Categories     Quick Breads

Time 1h15m

Yield 1 loaf

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 tablespoons ground flax seeds (optional)
1/4 cup butter, at room temperature (1 stick)
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 eggs, slightly beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon orange zest
2 tablespoons orange juice (or juice from 1/2 of a medium orange)
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
2 ripe bananas, mashed
1 cup confectioners' sugar
1 tablespoon orange juice
1 tablespoon lemon juice

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Butter a loaf pan and set aside.
  • In a bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, salt, and flax seeds.
  • In another bowl, mix the butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla until creamy. Add the orange zest and juice and stir lightly.
  • Slowly fold the flour mixture into the wet ingredients until combined, then add the nuts and banana, mixing until just combined. Try not to over mix.
  • Pour into greased loaf pan and bake for 1 hour, or until toothpick inserted into middle of loaf comes out clean.
  • Allow bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to rack. Cool completely before glazing.
  • FOR THE GLAZE: Combine the confectioner's sugar and orange and/or lemon juice. Stir until smooth. Pour over cooled bread.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your banana bread will be.
  • Use a combination of flours: All-purpose flour provides structure, while whole wheat flour adds a nutty flavor and heartiness.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in a tough, dense loaf of bread.
  • Let the batter rest: This allows the gluten in the flour to relax, which results in a more tender loaf of bread.
  • Bake the bread at a moderate temperature: This helps to prevent the bread from over-browning and drying out.
  • Use a toothpick to test for doneness: Insert a toothpick into the center of the loaf. If it comes out clean, the bread is done.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing: This will help to prevent the bread from crumbling.

Conclusion:

Banana bread with walnuts and orange zest is a delicious and easy-to-make treat. With its moist and fluffy texture, sweet banana flavor, crunchy walnuts, and citrusy orange zest, this bread is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. Whether you're a seasoned baker or a beginner, this recipe is sure to yield a delicious and satisfying loaf of banana bread.
