Ingredients

For the batter

½ cup vegetable oil
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs, beaten
3 ripe bananas, mashed (about 1 ½ cups)
2 cups all-purpose flour, sifted
1 tsp baking soda
½ tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
3 tablespoons milk
½ tsp vanilla extract
½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large mixing bowl, beat together the oil and sugar until well combined.
Add the beaten eggs and mashed bananas to the mixture, and blend until smooth.

🥄 Ripe bananas (the ones with brown spots) are perfect for this recipe as they add the best flavor and sweetness!
Gradually blend in the sifted flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
Stir in the milk and vanilla extract until the batter is smooth.
Finally, fold in the chopped nuts, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
Pour the batter into a greased 9x5x3 inch loaf pan.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the bread cool in the pan for a few minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

🧊 For a fun twist, try sprinkling some chocolate chips into the batter before baking for an extra indulgent treat!

Storage Tips

Keep your Banana Nut Bread wrapped in plastic wrap or stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
For longer storage, slice the bread and freeze it! It can last for up to 3 months in the freezer. Just pop it in the toaster for a quick snack later. ❄️

Variations

Gluten-free: Substitute regular flour with almond flour or gluten-free baking blend for a gluten-free version.
Chocolate Banana Nut Bread: Add ½ cup of chocolate chips to the batter for a deliciously rich twist on the classic.
Spiced Up: Add 1 tsp of cinnamon or nutmeg for a warm, aromatic flavor.
