The Old Fashion Banana Nut Bread recipe is still as delicious today as it was when I made it for the first time years ago. Banana Nut Bread is a tried and true classic recipe. One that is simple, quick, and easy to make. Most of the ingredients are pantry staples. Made up of flour, sugar, walnuts (optional), baking powder, salt, vegetable oil, then add your milk, eggs, and bananas. Because the bread is leaven with baking powder (cause the bread to rise) it is referred to as a quick bread.
Never throw out those overripe bananas because they make the best Old Fashion Banana Nut Bread. They make moist delicious bread. However, if you are still not ready to make your bread right away peel and freeze the bananas for later use. You can make banana bread at the drop of a hat.

Steps In Making Old Fashion Banana Nut Bread
It’s never been easier to make Old Fashion Banana Nut Bread. Use one large bowl to mix all the ingredients together. Begin by preheating the oven to 350 degrees for 10 minutes.
- Greasing and flour a large loaf pan. This prevents the bread from sticking to the pan.
- 3 to 4 overly ripe bananas, flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, eggs, vegetable oil, milk, and chopped walnuts (optional).
- Combine all of the ingredients in one large mixing bowl. Blend for 2 minutes with a mixer or by hand until thoroughly combined.
- Pour the batter into the loaf pan until 3/4 full (this prevents batter overflow while baking). Bake for 50 to 60 minutes.
Set a timer to remove the bread when done. Before removing the bread from the oven stick a toothpick in the center of the bread to check for doneness. If the toothpick comes out clean remove the bread from the oven. Remember banana bread will become dry and tough if allowed to overcook. There’s nothing like a nice warm moist slice of banana nut bread. You might like to try these recipes as well found here on the website:
