Complete Recipe Guide – Follow The Steps Given Below

To begin this simple recipe for banana nut bread from scratch, start by mixing the dry ingredients first. In a bowl, add all-purpose flour, baking powder and baking soda and mix for a few seconds.

Now, add brown sugar, one whole egg and melted butter to the mashed bananas. Thoroughly whisk to combine all the ingredients together. You can also use some vanilla essence here.
Once your wet bread batter mix gets a smooth consistency, add this to the dry ingredients bowl. With the help of a flat spatula, start folding your wet batter into the all-purpose flour mix.
Then add chopped walnuts and almonds to the banana nut bread batter. At this stage, you do not need to whisk it any further, just fold it a few times with the bread batter.

Now grease the bread loaf baking mold with some butter and then add your banana nut bread batter. If you want, you can also use parchment paper here.
Do not overfill the baking mold, remember the bread will rise, so it is advisable to only fill half of the baking mold.
Feel free to add some choco chips and nuts on top of the bread batter. Lastly, preheat the oven to 350 degrees and bake this incredibly moist and fluffy banana nut bread for 45 to 50 minutes.
After taking it out from the oven, let your banana nut bread cool down for 15 to 20 minutes and then cut beautiful slices of it. Pair this with a hot cup of black coffee or “Masala Chai”.
