Ingredients
- 3 very ripe bananas; about 1 1/2 cups mashed.
- ½ cup unsalted butter (8 Tbsp) at room temperature.
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar.
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten.
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour.
- 1 tsp baking soda.
- ½ tsp salt.
- ½ tsp vanilla extract.
- 1 cup walnuts.
- ½ cup raisins.
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease and flour a bread loaf pan (9.25 long x 5.25 wide x 2.75 deep). Lightly roast walnuts on a skillet, continuously stirring so they won’t burn. Coarsely chop and cool to room temperature.
- In a mixing bowl, cream together 8 Tbsp softened butter and 3/4 cup sugar (or honey if using honey).
- Mash bananas with a fork until the consistency of chunky applesauce and add them to the batter along with 2 eggs, mixing until blended.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together: 1 1/2 cups of flour, 1 tsp of baking soda and 1/2 tsp of salt then add to batter.
- Add 1/2 tsp of vanilla extract and mix in chopped walnuts and raisins. Pour into prepared loaf pan. Bake at 350˚F for 55-60 min or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let banana bread rest for 10 min before transferring to a wire rack to cool.
