Description
Banana walnut bread is moist, spongy, and just the right amount of sweetness that is so satisfying. It is just perfect for breakfast, snacks, or as a dessert after a meal. This recipe of banana and walnut bread is full of flavors from perfectly ripened bananas. The sweetness comes more from naturally ripened bananas and less from granulated white sugar. Toasted walnuts give the perfect crunch to balance the moist bread.
Ingredients
Ripe bananas- 3
Oil- 1/2 cup (extra light olive oil)
Sugar- 1/2 cup (white granulated sugar)
Vanilla Extract- 1 Tbsp

Baking Soda- 3/4 tsp
All-purpose flour- 2 cups

1. Mash three ripe bananas with a fork. Add 1/2 cup of oil, 3/4 cup of white granulated sugar, 1 Tbsp vanilla extract, two eggs, 1/4 tsp of salt, 3/4 tsp baking soda, and blend everything for one minute.
2. Sift 2 cups of all-purpose flour into the batter and mix for an additional minute.
3. Add 1/3 cup of roasted walnuts and fold it in with the batter with the help of a spatula.

5. Cut the cake into slices after it completely cools down.
Notes
The banana cake/bread comes out best when the bananas are naturally ripe. Though I have mentioned few tips to make it mature faster or slow the riping process, the taste varies slightly.
Can use the same recipe to make banana muffins or banana cupcakes. Cream cheese frosting and American frosting go well with banana cupcakes.
