Nuts are completely optional for this. We love the bread both ways, but do enjoy the extra crunch from a handful of walnuts or pecans. A note on pan size: We use a 8 1/2- by 4 1/2-inch loaf pan; if you only have a 9- by 5-inch pan, start checking for doneness 5 to 10 minutes earlier. Yield: 1 loaf, 8 slices You Will Need 1 1/2 cups (210 grams) all-purpose flour (we use Gold Medal) 1 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon 3 medium bananas (heavily speckled or even black bananas are best) 1/2 cup (113 grams or 1 stick) unsalted butter, melted and cooled 3/4 cup (150 grams) packed light brown sugar 2 large eggs, lightly beaten 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1/2 cup (50 grams) walnuts or pecans, toasted and chopped, optional Directions Center a rack in the oven and heat to 350º F. Butter and flour an 8 1/2- x 4 1/2- x 2 1/2-inch loaf pan. Place the pan on an insulated baking sheet or on two regular baking sheets stacked on top of the other. Make Batter: Whisk the flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon together, set aside. In the bottom of a medium bowl, mash bananas into a chunky paste. Whisk the melted butter, brown sugar, eggs and vanilla into the bananas until blended. Bake Banana Bread: Pour batter into the pan and smooth the top. Bake 55 to 75 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean. After 30 minutes in the oven, check the bread for color. If it looks like it is browning too quickly, loosely cover with aluminum foil. When the bread is done, transfer it, in the pan, to a wire rack to cool for 5 minutes. Unmold the bread and place right side up on the rack. Cool completely. For Storing: Its best to wrap the bread tightly in plastic wrap and store at room temperature overnight or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. (Since its just the two of us, we store in the refrigerator then when we want a slice well give it a couple minutes in our toaster oven to warm up). ☆ Thank you all for passing my things around and sharing ☆ Come Join our FREE Weight Loss Support Group on Facebook.
