Updated on Oct 26, 2010

This recipe comes from 'The Comfort Table', by Kathie Lee Joel. *The original recipe called for kosher salt, but I didn't have any, so I just used regular salt. **For buttermilk, I used half a cup of regular milk and added half a tablespoon of lemon juice.

How To Make nutty banana bread

  • Step 1
    Preheat oven to 350 F.
  • Step 2
    Grease a 9 X 5 X 3-inch loaf pan (I just used nonstick baking spray).
  • Step 3
    In a small bowl mix the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt.
  • Step 4
    In a medium bowl, beat together the sugar, oil, eggs and vanilla until well combined; alternately add the dry ingredients and the buttermilk in three additions; gently stir in the bananas and nuts.
  • Step 5
    Pour the batter into the loaf pan; bake for 45 to 55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Step 6
    Let the bread cool in the pan for 5 minutes; carefully turn out the loaf to finish cooling on a wire rack.
