Easy Banana Bread With Walnuts

I love banana bread with walnuts. What’s not to love?

Up until recently, I would just purchase banana bread at my favorite bakery or coffee shop.

Even my daughter, who hates bananas, will eat them if they’re baked into a delicious cake.

Since the family was home a lot more over the last year, I’ve had time to do a little more baking and finally gave making banana bread a shot.

Here’s the thing about baking banana bread. It’s so easy to make that you might be tempted to take shortcuts.

Trust me, do not take shortcuts.

Tips for Making Easy Banana Bread With walnuts

The first time I made banana bread a few months ago, I didn’t mash the bananas up enough.

My kids, even the one who likes bananas, were not pleased.

Make sure you mash the bananas, y’all.

The next time I made it, I took my time and made sure there were no chunks to be seen. The whole family gobbled that loaf right on up!

Next, when you’re making the bread batter, resist the urge to stir.

Instead, you want to fold the ingredients into each other.

There’s nothing worse than a dense, heavy banana bread that’s also dry because you over-stirred.

Ask me how I know. *face palm*

Finally, make sure you choose add-ins that everyone will like.

Don’t put raisins in your banana bread unless you know the whole family enjoys raisins in baked goods (I do not. Like, ever.).

I’m a sucker for nuts in baked goods, though, so this banana bread with walnuts recipe checks all of my boxes.

This Banana Bread Recipe is Amazing

Alright, so I don’t want to hype this up too much, but I can’t help myself. This banana bread recipe is not only easy, but it’s super delicious, too!

There’s a brown sugar and walnut topping that is just ridiculously yummy, and your family is sure to love it.

Eat it while it’s warm with a cup of milk, or a hot cup of tea or coffee.

Honestly, this would even make a good dessert.
