Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 3 ripe bananas mashed
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans
- 3/4 cup chopped walnuts
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and set it aside.
- Combine dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon. Set aside.
- Prepare butter-sugar mixture: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add eggs: Add the eggs to the butter-sugar mixture, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Add more wet ingredients: Stir in the mashed bananas, milk, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Combine dry and wet ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Fold in the nuts: Fold in a ¼ cup of the chopped walnuts and all of the chopped pecans.
- Pour batter into the pan: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly.
- Decorate the loaf: Arrange the remaining ½ cup of chopped walnuts over the top of the loaf.
- Bake the bread: Bake in a preheated oven for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool in the pan: Remove the loaf from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.
- Cool completely: Transfer the bread to a wire rack and let it cool completely before slicing. Slice and enjoy!
Notes
Make sure the bananas are ripe for optimal sweetness and flavor.
You can adjust the amount of cinnamon according to your taste preference.
Allow the loaf to cool completely before sliced to ensure it holds its shape.
For added flavor, you can add 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg or a pinch of ground cloves to the dry ingredients.
The loaf can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also freeze it for longer storage, wrapped tightly in plastic wrap and placed in a freezer-safe bag, for up to 3 months.
