QUICK & EASY BANANA NUT BREAD



Quick & Easy Banana Nut Bread image

This is a good quick bread that I have made since 1967 when I was a newly wed. I had never had homemade quick breads before that time and an Army Wife introduced me to them and the rest is history. I always wait until my bananas are heavily speckled so they are soft and sweet. Great for breakfast or as a dessert, this bread...

Tips:

  • For optimal flavor, use overripe bananas with brown spots on their skin.
  • Mashed bananas should be smooth and free of lumps, ensuring a consistent texture in your bread.
  • If you prefer a sweeter bread, consider adding an extra 1/4 cup of sugar to the batter.
  • For a crunchy topping, sprinkle a mixture of brown sugar and chopped walnuts on top of the batter before baking.
  • To test if the bread is done, insert a toothpick into the center. It should come out clean or with just a few moist crumbs attached.
  • Allow the bread to cool completely before slicing and serving. This will prevent it from crumbling and ensure clean slices.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
