Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Delicious Banana Nut Bread.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). While that's warming up, grab a 9x5-inch loaf pan and give it a good greasing to ensure your bread slides out easily later on.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, white sugar, and butter. Beat them together until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Then, add in the well-beaten eggs and the mashed ripe bananas, mixing until everything is well incorporated and delightful.
Step 3
Next, gently fold in the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and baking soda. Be careful not to overmix; you want to keep that lovely texture. Finally, stir in the chopped walnuts for that perfect crunch.
Step 4
Pour the luscious batter into your prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly. Now, it's time to bake! Place the pan in your preheated oven and let it bake for about 1 hour and 15 minutes. You'll know it's ready when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 5
Once baked, let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, carefully remove it and transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely. This is the hardest part—waiting to slice into that warm, fragrant bread!
