Instructions

Prepare the Oven and Pans

Set your oven’s rack in the center and heat it to 350 degrees F.
Use parchment paper to line a 9 by 5-inch loaf pan, and then gently grease the pan with nonstick cooking spray. Cooking spray should then be used to lightly coat the parchment paper.

Make Batter

Mash bananas in a bow until smooth.
Mix sugar, butter, and eggs. Whisk on low with a whisk attachment.
Add dry ingredients to wet in a separate basin. Combine on low.

Make Bread

Mix in nuts and pour batter into a loaf pan.
Add nuts.
Cut the batter lengthwise 1/2 inch deep.
Bake until a toothpick comes out clean or with wet breadcrumbs.

Cool Bread

10 minutes later, remove the bread from the pan. After 1 hour and 50 minutes, flip the pan over and let the bread cool on a wire rack.

Serve

Slice and serve.

FAQs

When baking bread, what effect does altitude have?

Baking can be severely impacted at an altitude of over 3,000 feet. Due to the reduced air pressure and drier air, the dough may rise too much, and the flour may become gritty. This can cause the loaf to be dense, unshaped, and dry.

How many bananas are there in a cup and a half?

It is possible for this number to change depending on the size of the banana, but as a general rule, two cups of mashed bananas equals four or five bananas.

The banana bread should be cut into slices, right?

Wait to cut the loaf of bread until it has completely cooled, which will take around two hours of waiting time. After the bread has had time to cool, you should cut it into slices, beginning at the heel of the loaf. Put a lot of butter on the bread and eat it slowly.
