Creating Banana Bread with Walnuts and Cinnamon can be effortless if you follow these simple steps:
- Preheat Your Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
- Mash Bananas: In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth and creamy.
- Add Melted Butter: Stir in the melted butter to the mashed bananas until well combined.
- Mix in Sugar: Add the granulated sugar and mix thoroughly. You can adjust the sweetness based on your preference.
- Incorporate Egg and Vanilla: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well blended.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix together the baking soda, salt, ground cinnamon, and flour.
- Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the banana mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix!
- Add Walnuts: Fold in the chopped walnuts, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Pour into Prepared Pan: Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
- Bake: Place it in the preheated oven and bake for 50-60 minutes. It’s done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10-15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
These step-by-step instructions will assure you make a moist and tasty banana bread effortlessly.
