I LOVE Banana Nut Bread! In fact, it’s a serious weakness of mine at Starbucks. We have a Starbucks literally only a block or two away from our house and I’m always so tempted just to swing by and grab a slice. A Caramel Cream Frappachino or Hot Chocolate (depending on the season) and a slice of Banana Nut bread = a perfect treat!

Of course, being as it is that we are still in the medical school years, my budget doesn’t really allow for stopping at Starbucks daily for a $3.00 slice of bread.

So, I went in search of an easy Banana Nut Bread recipe that I could make myself for a fraction of the cost. After trying out a few different recipes, here is the winner!

Banana Nut Bread
originally from America’s Test Kitchen

 

Use a loaf pan that measures 9″x 5″x 3″

Ingedients

2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
3 very ripe, soft, darkly speckled bananas (mash well)
1/4 cup plain yogurt
2 eggs, beaten lightly
6 Tbs. butter, melted and cooled
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups walnuts, chopped coarsely

1. Adjust oven rack to lower-middle position and heat oven to 350 degrees. Butter and flour loaf pan. Make sure to use a generous amount of both.

2. Whisk together dry ingredients in a large bowl and set aside. In separate bowl, mix mashed bananas, yogurt, eggs, butter and vanilla. Fold banana mixture into dry ingredients with rubber spatula just until combined and batter looks thick and chunky. Fold in walnuts. Scrape batter into prepared pan and smooth surface with rubber spatula.

3. Bake until loaf is golden brown and toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, approximately 55 minutes. Cool in pan for 5 minutes and transfer to wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.

My favorite way to eat it of course is warm! I love a thick crust and warm gooey inside! Plus, I love how this makes our kitchen smell. 
 
I may just have to make two loaves the next time I make this. One loaf to eat right away and one to freeze. I am really trying to have more homemade food in our fridge & freezer versus store bought pre-packaged goods with tons of preservatives & who knows what in them. This bread would be a perfect freezer recipe and I’m all about baking once, enjoying twice! Enjoy!
