Banana, Walnut & Date Bread Recipe
This Banana Bread Recipe I am sharing today is incredibly moist and delicious! Can you ever have too many banana bread recipes? I think not! I am always open to trying a new one!
WHAT YOU NEED TO MAKE BANANA, WALNUT & DATE BREAD
Simple every day baking ingredients. If you are like me, I am betting you have everything you need to make this tasty tea bread right now!
- 3 extra ripe medium sized bananas
- 1/2 cup (115g) butter, room temperature
- 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
- 2 large free range eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 1/2 cups (210g) plain all purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pure vanilla
- 1 cup (116g) chopped toasted walnuts
- 1/2 cup (75g) chopped dates
You will want your bananas to be really ripe to make this bread. The riper the better. Using un-ripened bananas doesn’t work very well at all.
It is really easy to ripen bananas. If you are needing them to ripen right away, simply place onto a baking sheet (in the skins) and bake in a low oven (250*F/121*C) and roast for 15 to 20 minutes, depending on how ripe or unripe your bananas are.
Alternately if you can wait a bit longer, pop them into a paper bag, along with an apple to speed up the process. Close tightly and leave overnight at room temperature.
I am no stranger to a quick bread/loaf. I really love them. Probably even more than cake! Some other favorite loaves that I bake are:
CRANBERRY, NUT AND ORANGE BREAD - This delicious tea bread/loaf is one of the classics. The type of thing you always used to see served at Tea Parties, Bridal and Baby Showers. Before everyone got all fancy. It is flavored with orange and generously studded with toasted nuts and fresh cranberries. Fabulously tasty!
CHEESE & PEPPER BREAD – Not a sweet bread but a savory one. Rich and peppery with a lovely lush cheese flavor which goes perfectly with soups and stews, or on its own, served warm and spread with lashings of cold butter to melt down into that cheesy crumb. It also makes nice tea/finger sandwiches, sliced thinly and sandwiched together with cream or goats cheese.
Banana Walnut & Date Bread Recipe
- 3 extra ripe medium sized bananas
- 1/2 cup (115g) butter, room temperature
- 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
- 2 large free range eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 1/2 cups (210g) plain all purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pure vanilla
- 1 cup (116g) chopped toasted walnuts
- 1/2 cup (75g) chopped dates
- Preheat the oven to 350*F/180*C/gas mark 4. Butter a 9 by 5 inch loaf pan and then line with baking parchment, leaving an overhang to ease with removal.
- Beat the butter and sugar together until fluffy using an electric mixer. Beat in the bananas. (Alternately you can mash with a fork and then stir them into the creamed mixture.) Beat in the eggs. Stir in the vanilla and salt.
- Sift the flour and baking soda together. Stir this into the batter to combine. There should be no dry streaks. Fold in the nuts and dates.
- Pour into the prepared baking tin, smoothing over the top.
- Bake for 55 to 60 minutes, until golden brown, risen and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Leave to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then lift out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Cut into slices to serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container.
