Banana Nut Bread

Needless to see, this is by far the most enjoyed bread. Every rookie baker starts their baking lessons by baking this bread! This is such a forgiving bread, even if you srcew up a bit in measurements, you will end up with delectable results.  This recipe can be transformed into muffins as well.  Who doesn’t like to wake up to a freshly baked bread, especially it is loaded with bananas and nuts? All you need is a cup of coffee or a glass of cold milk and a couple of slices of this bread and you are all set for the day.

I like to toast the leftover bread and slather the toasted slices with either butter or jam. Divine!

Here’s how I made it.

Banana Nut Bread

Ingredients

1 egg

½ cup mayonnaise

About 3 mashed bananas

1-1/2 cup flour

1 cup sugar

¾ cup chopped nuts(I used walnuts, use any nuts on hand, or omit nuts altogether.)

1 tsp baking soda

Pinch of salt

 How to:

Preheat oven to 350° F.

Beat egg, mayonnaise and bananas until blended.

Combine remaining ingredients, mix until just moistened.

Transfer to a pre-greased loaf pan.

Bake for about 1 hour or do the toothpick test.

Cool in a pan for about 15 minutes on a wire rack.

Cool completely.

Enjoy!

You could add 1 cup of semi sweet chocolate chips into the batter for that extra special banana bread. Or make glaze out of those chips and just drizzle over the slices.
