How To Make buttery banana nut bread

  • Step 1
    Cream well butter and sugar with mixer, low speed. Add eggs, mixing on low for a good minute.
  • Step 2
    Sift dry ingredients together. Add in turns with bananas to creamed mixture, mix further until batter is well blended and smooth. Add walnuts, mixing until dispersed in batter.
  • Step 3
    Pour batter into well greased loaf pan, place in pre-heated oven (350F/180C) for 40 minutes, or until toothpick comes out clean. Remove from oven to cooling rack for 1-2 hours.

    Key trick: After cooling a bit, place foil tightly on top of loaf pan for overnight rest. Then remove from pan, and bread is easily slice-able from there. Store in foil, or air-tight container.
