Cinnamon Banana Nut Bread
There’s something magical about a thick, warm slice of banana nut bread in the morning. It’s comforting, deliciously moist and when paired with a hot cup of coffee on the weekend, I swear it instantly reduces stress.
It seems like there’s a million banana bread recipes on the internet that claim to be “the best”, so when I set out to make a banana nut bread recipe of my own I felt a bit overwhelmed. How was my recipe going to be different than everyone else’s? Finally, after about 2 years of having this on my to-do list, I came to my senses and realized that incorporating all of my favorite flavors and ingredients will make it unique.
The best thing about this banana walnut bread is that it’s easy to make. All you need are simple ingredients like all-purpose flour (I like Bob’s Red Mill unbleached flour the best), ripe or overripe bananas, chopped walnuts, butter, sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, baking soda and that’s it. Mix everything together, pour it into a greased loaf pan and start enjoying the smell of warm banana nut bread coming from your oven immediately.
No, but it does provide a naturally sweeter banana flavor. You can use regular ripe bananas if that’s all you have – I’ve personally used regular ripe bananas many times and have had wonderful results. Another option would be to ripen them in the oven. Simply place your bananas on baking sheet in a 250°F oven for 10-20 minutes.
