Banana bread

Banana bread is a soft banana loaf typical of Anglo-Saxon countries; I made it lactose-free and enriched with walnuts.

For this recipe, I recommend using fairly ripe bananas because their soft, moist flesh will mix well with the batter.

Once baked, the banana bread will emit a fantastic aroma throughout the kitchen, and once cooled, it will disappear in the blink of an eye!

  • To make the banana bread, peel three bananas, transfer them to a bowl, and mash them with a fork until they turn into a puree.

  • Then gradually add, while always stirring, the sugar, egg, oil, and vanilla.

  • Then add the sifted flour with the baking soda, stirring with a spatula and adding a little at a time to prevent lumps from forming.

  • Add the chopped walnuts and mix well.

  • Grease and flour a loaf pan (9×3.5 inches), pour the batter inside, and level the surface.

  • Cut one banana in half and place the halves on the surface, pressing lightly.

  • Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for 50-60 minutes; do the toothpick test.

  • Once baked, let the banana bread cool. Then remove it from the pan, slice, and enjoy!
