We love a good sweet quick bread. I mean honestly, who doesn’t?Lemon Blueberry Bread, Pumpkin Bread with Cinnamon Glaze, Strawberry Bread, and this recipe are just a few of our favorites.

Chunkie Banana Nut Brown Sugar Bread

Start by whisking the flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon and salt. Then using a stand or hand mixer beat the butter and sugar together until smooth and creamy. Now turn the mixer to medium low and beat the eggs in one at a time until incorporated. Then beat in the mashed bananas and vanilla extract. Next turn the mixer to low and add the flour mixture beating just until incorporated. Do not overmix the batter. Remove from the mixer and stir in the nuts. Remember do not overmix.

Pour into a loaf pan that has been greased or sprayed with nonstick baking spray. Sprinkle a little bit more chopped nuts on the top. Bake for about 1 hour or until a toothpick inserted in the top comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack. Once completely cool store in a larger zipper bag or wrap with plastic wrap and store on the countertop for about 3-4 days.

The very best way to store banana bread is wrapped with plastic wrap and stored in a Ziploc storage bag right on your kitchen counter. At room temperature the bread will remain moist and taste very similar to the day that you baked it. Make sure you remove as much of the excess air from the storage bag every time you open it.

You can prolong the shelf life of the bread by wrapping and storing in the refrigerator although the cold from the refrigerator will dry the bread out some. Be sure to wrap it well with plastic wrap and a Ziploc storage bag. The bread will last about one week in the refrigerator.

For longer storage freeze the bread. Banana bread freezes extremely well. Wrap in plastic wrap and place in a heavy duty freezer bag removing as much of the air as possible. Freeze up to three months. To thaw simply place it on the counter overnight. You can even freeze individual slices in quart size heavy duty freezer bags.

Baking banana bread makes me happy. I can’t be in a bad mood when I know banana bread is cooking in the oven. The aroma’s of the nut bread fill up my entire house and everyone knows something yummy is coming. It’s moist, and perfectly flavored, with a little crunch from the toasted walnuts. I could eat an entire loaf if I’m not careful. 😉

Simple Banana Bread Recipe (with Nuts)

I love having a slice with my breakfast or as a little pick-me-up in the afternoon. Sometimes my family even eats it for dessert – just heat it up for 10 seconds in the microwave and serve it with vanilla ice cream. SO yummy!

If you don’t have sour cream, you can substitute with greek yogurt. Sometimes I will mash my bananas separately and add them into the mixture. Very ripe bananas work best – they need to be soft with at least some black because they make the bread moist and more flavorful.

COMBINE. Then add the dry mixture to the wet mixture and mix well. Feel free to add chocolate chips to the batter! You could even add it to half the batter so you have one plain loaf and one with chocolate chips.

BAKE. After you’ve poured the batter into the pans, bake the bread in the oven for 40-50 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

What nuts are best in this recipe? Walnuts are our nut of choice to add to banana bread. We like to toast them before adding them, but they’re great not toasted as well. Chopped pecans are our second choice.
