Ingredients for Easy Banana Nut Bread

Before we start, let’s gather all the necessary ingredients. You may already have some of these in your pantry!

Easy Banana Nut Bread Recipe Moist - 3 ripe bananas

½ cup melted butter
1 cup sugar (you can adjust based on your sweetness preference)
1 egg, beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon baking soda
Pinch of salt
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
½ cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Instructions for Making Banana Nut Bread

Now, let’s get to the exciting part—making the banana nut bread!

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 4x8 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth. Stir in the melted butter.
Add in the sugar, beaten egg, and vanilla extract. Mix until combined.
Sprinkle the baking soda and salt over the mixture and blend in. Then, add the flour and mix until just incorporated—avoid over-mixing!
If you’re adding walnuts, fold them in gently at this stage.
Pour your batter into the greased loaf pan and smooth out the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 60-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If the top is browning too quickly, you can tent it with foil.
Once baked, let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

And there you have it—a delightful easy banana nut bread that you can enjoy with family and friends. The combination of bananas and nuts makes for an enticing flavor that’s hard to resist. Slice it, serve it warm, or enjoy it cold; it’s delicious either way! Happy baking!
