Cinnamon Banana Nut Bread

How to make banana nut bread

  1. Make the batter: Cream the butter and sugar together until pale and fluffy. I like using my stand mixer for this but you can use electric beaters too. Add the eggs, one at a time, and beat well after each addition. Mash the bananas with a fork then add to the bowl and mix in. Sift together the dry ingredients then add to the bowl and mix in, taking care not to over mix. Fold in three quarters of the walnuts. Transfer the batter to a greased and lined loaf pan (9x5in/23x13cm).
  2. Make the topping: Combine the sugar, cinnamon and remaining nuts together then sprinkle over the batter.
  3. Bake: Bake the banana bread for 45-60 minutes or until a skewers inserted comes out clean. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely before slicing and serving.

Freezing instrucions

Yes, this banana bread freezes very well. Allow to cool completely then wrap well with parchment paper and foil and freeze for up to 3 months. Alternatively, freeze slices individually to make thawing easier.

    Hi Ali, would love to try this loaf, but I never have 6 bananas left over as I only ever buy 3-4 at a time since they’re so expensive here in Australia and there’s only the two of us at home these days. I buy my bananas for my morning smoothies, that way I can stretch them out to last me a whole week. Anyway, it sounds so lovely, but will have to give this one a miss until one day “I may” happen to have 6 bananas sitting around just waiting to be baked.:-)

      You can absolutely use 3-4. I just like a LOT of bananas in my banana bread. I’ve added a weight as well because your bananas might be much larger then mine?

      That’s the only size loaf pan I use. Mine is approximately 4-5inches deep.
