Banana Walnut Bread
Hello everyone, how was your weekend? The weather was super hot as usual in the past two days and I was happy and had the mood to bake this super delicious, moist and soft Banana Walnut Bread from Curtis Stone's recipe. This recipe is very easy to follow with a few quick steps. I've reduced the sugar as the ripe bananas were already very sweet and I wanted to achieve a really good end result. We finished almost half of the loaf even it was still warm and left half of it in the refrigerator for morning breakfast. You'll be surprised it still stayed very soft and fresh even when it was chilled. Definitely a keeper recipe.
Banana Walnut Bread
- 1 2/3 cups All-purpose flour/plain flour (200g)
- 1 tsp Baking soda
- 1/4 tsp Cinnamon powder
- 1/4 tsp Salt
- 2 large Eggs (70g each)
- 1 1/4 cups Sugar (I used 3/4 cups - 150g)
- 1/2 cup Vegetable oil (85g)
- 3 large Very ripe Bananas (300g), coarsely mashed
- 2 tbsp Natural yogurt
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups Walnuts, toasted and chopped (100g)
Method:
Preheat oven to 350F/175C. Butter (9 x 5 x 3 by inch) metal loaf pan, then dust with flour, knocking out excess. (my loaf pan is 13 inch long)
Sift together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon powder and salt into a bowl.
Beat together eggs and sugar in bowl of electric mixer at medium-high speed until very thick and pale and mixture forms a ribbon when beater is lifted, about 10 minutes. Reduce speed to low and add oil in a slow stream, mixing, then mix in bananas, yohurt and vanilla. Remove from mixer and fold in flour mixture and half of the chopped walnuts gently and thoroughly with a rubber spatula.
Pour the batter into the loaf pan, spreading evenly and sprinkle remaining chopped walnuts on top.
Bake in middle of oven until golden and a skewer comes out clean, 1 to 1 1/4 hours. (I only baked for 55 minutes).
