Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease and line a loaf pan with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine the self-raising flour, brown sugar, walnuts, and baking soda. Mix well to ensure the ingredients are evenly distributed.
- In a separate bowl, mash the bananas until smooth. You can leave a few small chunks if you prefer a more textured bread.
- In another bowl, lightly beat the eggs. Add the milk and mix well. Incorporate the mashed bananas into this mixture.
- Make a well in the center of the flour mixture. Pour the wet ingredients into the well. Gently fold the ingredients together until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it's okay if there are a few lumps.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it out evenly.
- Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the banana and walnut bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, remove it from the pan and transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, slice the bread and serve. It's delicious on its own or with a smear of butter.
Tips:
- Use ripe bananas: Overripe bananas with brown spots are perfect for this recipe as they're sweeter and easier to mash.
- Don't overmix: When combining the wet and dry ingredients, mix until just combined to ensure a tender crumb.
- Chop the walnuts: Make sure to chop the walnuts into bite-sized pieces for an even distribution throughout the bread.
- Check for doneness: Insert a toothpick into the center of the bread. If it comes out clean, the bread is done. If not, bake for a few more minutes and check again.
- Let it cool: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. This helps the bread set and makes it easier to slice.
There you have it - a delicious loaf of banana and walnut bread! Whether enjoyed warm from the oven or toasted with a bit of butter, this bread is sure to be a hit. The combination of sweet bananas and crunchy walnuts makes each bite a delightful experience. Store any leftovers in an airtight container to keep them fresh, although it might not last long enough for that to be an issue!
