If you've got mushy bananas, you're just a few steps away from this easy, delicious banana nut bread. In this recipe, the walnuts get toasted just to bring out their nutty flavor and take away their raw edge. A touch of cinnamon and vanilla round out the banana nut flavor.Related: Our 14 Best Quick Bread Recipes

Let me tell you this is the best banana bread ever!! People will not stop asking me for it!
This bread is amazing. I adjusted it for high altitude and it came out better than I thought it could. I wouldn't change a thing.
This was pretty good, I was skeptical because I usually use buttermilk with banana bread. I always roast the bananas as well as the walnuts, it makes an amazing difference in flavor. I roast 3 large or 4 small for 12mins, 350 degrees and let cool down a bit before mashing and I also drain off the water before mashing. I also add nutmeg, allspice and a touch of cloves. I will keep this recipe in my rotation for when I don't have buttermilk.
Made this for the first time and it came out perfect! I did use an old 9 X 5 metal pan. I might not have let it cool enough before wrapping it in plastic wrap because the next morning there was a little indentation in the center. That's okay with me because it is so moist. I'll definitely keep this recipe in my favorites!
I’ve been baking almost my entire life. 350 for 60 minutes would have been a brick. I set my timer for 50 minutes and at 37 minutes the outside was black and the inside was BARELY done. The inside tasted great But the outside was burnt. So my question is, is this recipe for a metal pan, or a glass pan, non stick pan? I used one of my OLD metal pans and it’s usually “old trusty” but not with this recipe.
I followed the recipe and put for 60 min the center is still raw and the outside is almost burned dark brown. anyone experience thise
Hi, I feel silly for asking this...how full should the pan be? I'm worried that it's over-filled and will spill over during the bake. Any words of advice will be very appreciated.
This is amazing bread. Added more walnuts, a 1/2 cup of blueberries and used sweet butter rather than oil or shortening. My family devoured this bread!
Can you double this recipe?
I used olive oil and 2 tsp of baking powder as substitutes. Turned out great!
