Easy Banana Nut Bread With Self Rising Flour
If you are looking for a quick and easy banana nut bread recipe, this is the perfect recipe for you. This recipe uses self-rising flour, which makes it super easy to whip up a batch of delicious banana nut bread without any fuss. You don't need to worry about measuring and mixing different types of flour and leavening agents, as everything is already included in the self-rising flour.
Ingredients You Will Need
For this recipe, you will need the following ingredients:
- 3 ripe bananas
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 cups self-rising flour
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Now that you have gathered your ingredients, let's get started:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan with butter or cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork or potato masher until they are mostly smooth with just a few lumps.
- Add the melted butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas and mix well.
- Sift the self-rising flour and salt into the banana mixture and stir until just combined.
- Stir in the chopped walnuts.
- Pour the batter into the greased loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
- Allow the bread to cool in the pan for a few minutes before removing it and allowing it to cool completely on a wire rack.
Tips for Success
Here are a few tips to ensure your banana nut bread turns out perfectly:
- Use very ripe bananas. The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your bread will be.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in tough, dry bread. Mix until just combined.
- If you don't have self-rising flour, you can make your own by combining 2 cups of all-purpose flour with 3 teaspoons of baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
- For extra flavor, you can add a teaspoon of ground cinnamon to the batter.
- If you prefer your bread to be less sweet, you can reduce the amount of sugar to 3/4 cup.
- If you want to make muffins instead of a loaf, simply divide the batter evenly between a 12-count muffin tin and bake for 18-20 minutes.
