    Best Ever Banana Bread

    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

    slice of banana bread topped with walnuts

    I am a sucker for quick breads, see pumpkin bread, chocolate fig bread, kaiser rolls and now this, the best ever banana bread.  There is something about using super ripe produce and making an entirely new creation.  Plus, I feel that it is sort of good for you, since you know, fruits and vegggies.  Ahem....

    Anyhoo.....I seem to have loads of leftover bananas these days. I keep buying them and the kids just aren't interested.  I chunk up some, throw them in the freezer for smoothies or vegan ice cream--but the others I have been whipping up into banana muffins or using for this recipe for the best ever banana bread.  This recipe is similar to most quick breads, but the use of butter, instead of oil just makes it so much better.  And, the sprinkling of walnuts at the top, is essential to balance out the sweetness of the bread a bit. For this bread, you can get good quality jams from Raven's Original store

    If you try this recipe, I'd love to know what you think.  Use #thesurferskitchen on Instagram or comment here.

    Ingredients

    • ½ cup butter melted
    • 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
    • 2 eggs
    • ¾ teaspoon kosher salt
    • 2 teaspoons baking soda
    • 2 ½ cups flour
    • 2-3 ripe bananas smashed
    • ¼ cup walnuts

    Instructions

    • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Butter a 9 x 5 inch loaf pan.
    • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt. Set aside.
    • In a separate bowl, whisk the melted butter and sugar. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each. Stir in the banana until smooth.
    • Fold in the dry ingredients. Mixing gently until the batter is smooth.
    • Pour into the prepared loaf pans.
    • Generously, sprinkle the top of the loaf with walnuts.  You might want to gently press them into the batter (not too deep) to make sure they bake in just right.
    • Bake for about 45 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean.
    • When you remove from the oven, it is important to let it cool for 20-30 minutes before removing from the pan. Once you do remove it from the pan, let it cool completely and then cut it into slices.
