Most banana (walnut) bread recipes are too heavy and too sweet. I modified this simple banana bread recipe to make it less overwhelming but still rich. With less sugar, the fragrance and sweetness of bananas stand out. The riper the bananas, the sweeter the result.
INGREDIENTS
4 ripe bananas, smashed
1 cup walnut & pecan, chopped
1/6 cup melted butter (1/3 of a stick)
1/4 cup sugar
2 eggs, beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon baking soda
Pinch of salt
1 cup all-purpose, 1/2 cup whole-wheat flour
METHOD
No need for a mixer for this recipe. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). With a wooden spoon, mix butter into the mashed bananas in a large mixing bowl. Mix in the sugar, egg, and vanilla. Sprinkle the baking soda and salt over the mixture and mix in. Add the flour last, mix. Pour mixture into a buttered 4x8 inch loaf pan. Bake for 1 hour. Cool on a rack. Remove from pan and slice to serve.
