A delightful twist on the classic banana bread, featuring warm spices and crunchy walnuts.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan.
Ensure the oven is fully preheated to maintain even baking.
In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Room temperature butter blends more easily with sugar.
Add the eggs, mashed bananas, and vanilla extract to the creamed mixture and mix until smooth.
Mash the bananas thoroughly for a smoother batter.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, baking soda, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
Sifting the dry ingredients can help avoid lumps.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
Avoid overmixing to keep the loaf tender.
Fold in the chopped walnuts gently.
Coating the walnuts in a bit of flour prevents them from sinking.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
Tap the pan gently on the counter to remove air bubbles.
Bake in the preheated oven for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Check the loaf at 60 minutes to avoid overbaking.
Let the loaf cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Cooling in the pan helps the loaf set and prevents breaking.
Slice and serve your Banana Walnut Spice Loaf with your favorite beverage.
Enjoy with a dollop of cream cheese or butter for extra indulgence.
