A simple, no-mixer banana bread recipe that yields a fluffy crumb and crunchy walnuts, perfect for any occasion and quick to prepare.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 1/2 cups (190g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (120g) walnuts, roughly chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease your loaf pan with butter or line it with parchment paper for easy release.
  2. Mash the bananas in your mixing bowl using a fork or potato masher until mostly smooth with a few lumps (about 1 cup or 240ml mashed bananas).
  3. Add the melted butter to the mashed bananas and stir gently until combined.
  4. Mix in the sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture looks glossy and fairly uniform.
  5. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet banana mixture. Use a rubber spatula to fold gently until no visible streaks of flour remain.
  7. Fold in the chopped walnuts just until evenly spread.
  8. Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with your spatula.
  9. Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs. Start checking at 50 minutes.
  10. Cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Use very ripe bananas for maximum sweetness and moisture. Do not overmix the batter to keep the crumb light. Toast walnuts for extra flavor and crunch. Check oven temperature with a thermometer to avoid over or underbaking. Let bread cool completely before slicing to prevent crumbling.
