I used my homemade gluten free flour blend recipe from my blog.

GRANDMA'S BEST EVER BANANA NUT BREAD



Grandma's Best Ever Banana Nut Bread image

This is dark, rich and moist. It is sweet and flavorful and I am told unlike any other people have tasted. Some liken it Mimi's Cafe, but say it is better. My mother, Belen, who passed away at the age of 100 had been making this for as long as I can remember. Please follow the instructions regarding putting the vinegar in the milk in one cup and the baking soda in warm water in another before mixing it with other ingredients. It makes a difference.

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your banana nut bread will be.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make your banana nut bread tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Let the batter rest for 10 minutes before baking: This will allow the flour to absorb the liquids and help the bread rise evenly.
  • Bake the bread at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 50-60 minutes: Or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing: This will help prevent the bread from crumbling.

Conclusion:

Banana nut bread is a classic quick bread that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its moist texture, sweet banana flavor, and crunchy walnuts, it's the perfect snack or breakfast food. So next time you have some ripe bananas on hand, be sure to give this recipe a try!
