Moist Banana Walnut Bread

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Moist Banana Walnut Bread.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C) and greasing a 9x5-inch loaf pan to ensure your banana walnut bread comes out easily.

2. Step 2

   In a large mixing bowl, combine the white sugar and melted butter, stirring them together until they’re perfectly blended.

   Next, crack in the eggs and pour in the vanilla extract, mixing everything until it’s smooth and creamy.

4. Step 4

   In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.

5. Step 5

   Gradually add this dry mixture to your wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined—be careful not to overmix! Now, it’s time to fold in the star ingredients: the sliced bananas, tangy sour cream, and crunchy chopped walnuts.

   Make sure they’re evenly distributed throughout the batter for that delightful flavor in every bite.
