Banana nut bread

Banana nut bread is a classic, comforting treat that's perfect for breakfast, snack, or even dessert. Made with ripe bananas, crunchy walnuts, and a blend of wholesome ingredients, this recipe delivers a moist, flavorful loaf that’s both satisfying and delightful. Follow this simple guide to create a delicious banana bread that will be a hit with family and friends.

Instructions:

1. Mix Dry Ingredients:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
2. Cream Butter and Sugars:
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and stevia leaf sweetener until light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes using an electric mixer on medium speed.
3. Add Egg Whites:
- Beat in the egg whites one at a time, making sure to mix well after each addition.
4. Incorporate Bananas, Applesauce, and Vanilla:
- Mix in the mashed bananas, applesauce, and vanilla extract until well combined.
5. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
- Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix, as this can make the bread dense.
6. Fold in Walnuts:
- Gently fold the chopped walnuts into the batter until evenly distributed.
7. Bake:
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it out evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Cool:
- Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.
- Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
9. Serve:
- Slice and enjoy your homemade banana nut bread. Perfect with a cup of coffee or tea!

Tips:

- Make sure your bananas are very ripe for the best flavor and texture. Overripe bananas with several brown spots or a completely brown peel work best.

- Don’t overmix the batter. Stir just until the ingredients are combined to keep the bread tender and avoid a dense texture.

- You can substitute the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour for a healthier alternative, but expect a denser texture.

- Feel free to add a handful of chocolate chips or dried fruit for a variation in flavor.

- Bake the loaf in the center of the oven to ensure even baking, and check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean or with a few crumbs, the bread is ready.

- Let the banana nut bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack. This helps to set the structure and makes it easier to slice.

Enjoy your freshly baked banana nut bread warm or at room temperature, either plain or with a spread of butter. This moist, flavorful bread is not only a great way to use up overripe bananas but also a perfect companion to your morning coffee or an afternoon snack. Store any leftovers in an airtight container to keep it fresh for several days. Happy baking!
