This classic banana nut bread is filled with cinnamon, browned butter, and a hint of nutmeg. Browning the butter is an extra step that adds a little depth and complexity to the loaf. You can use pecans or walnuts in this recipe—your choice!

When making your banana bread, be careful not to overmix to keep the bread from developing too much gluten and getting gummy. Bananas not quite ripe? While not quite the same, you can ripen them in the oven in a pinch.

Divide batter evenly among 21 muffin cups, sprinkling with remaining chopped pecans. Bake 20-23 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the muffin comes out clean. Makes 21 muffins.
