Can I have a recipe for homemade banana nut bread?

This recipe makes a moist and delicious banana nut bread that's perfect for breakfast, snacking, or dessert.

Yields: 1 loaf

Prep time: 15 minutes

Bake time: 50-60 minutes

Ingredients:

* 3 ripe bananas, mashed

* 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened

* 3/4 cup granulated sugar

* 2 large eggs

* 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

* 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

* 1 teaspoon baking soda

* 1/2 teaspoon salt

* 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.

2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.

4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.

5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.

6. Fold in the mashed bananas and nuts.

7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.

8. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Tips:

* For extra moisture, add 1/4 cup of milk or buttermilk to the batter.

* If you prefer a sweeter bread, add 1/4 cup more sugar.

* For a richer flavor, use brown sugar instead of granulated sugar.

* Feel free to add other nuts, chocolate chips, or spices like cinnamon or nutmeg.

* Store the bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Enjoy your homemade banana nut bread!
