This banana nut bread is my mom's recipe: dense, excellent, and definitely indulgent. It's always completely gone in minutes. This is great at parties, but never lasts long at home. Warning: EBNB may be impossible to resist!

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups white sugar
  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 2 cups mashed overripe bananas
  • 4 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour two 9x5-inch loaf pans.

  2. 2

    Sift flour, baking soda, and salt into a large bowl.

  3. 3

    Cream sugar and butter together in a separate bowl. Stir in bananas, eggs, and walnuts until well blended.

  4. 4

    Pour wet ingredients into flour mixture and stir just until blended. Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared pans.

  5. 5

    Bake in the preheated oven until a paring knife inserted into the crown of each loaf comes out clean, 60 to 70 minutes.

  6. 6

    Remove from the oven and let loaves cool in the pans for at least 5 minutes. Turn out onto a cooling rack, and let cool completely, about 30 minutes.

  7. 7

    Slice and serve. For more intense flavor, wrap each loaf in aluminum foil to keep in the moisture, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
