Banana Nut Bread - perfect with a cup of coffee, especially on rainy mornings

This Post was written by Margot from Coffee and Vanilla.

Banana Nut Bread


5 medium bananas - mashed roughly (about 700g)
200 g unsalted butter (melted)
½-⅔ cup of walnuts (chopped or not)
2 eggs (beaten)
3 tbs of vanilla sugar (30g)
1 tbs of baking powder
1 cup of soft dark brown sugar
2 pinches of salt
3 cups plain flour
2 tsp ground cinnamon
½ tsp ground nutmeg

Stir everything together and place in 2 medium size buttered tins or layered with teflon sheets.
You can use also 2 medium size bread loaf tins.
Bake in 140°C (248°F) for an hour – an hour and half.

Leave to cool down before serving. Taste even better the next day.

Makes about 15 servings.

* Make sure that you don’t put too much bananas, or you don’t mash them too much because cake will not grow like on the first picture.
I use my fingers to mash bananas :)

** When my daughter was younger I used to chop nuts, right now I add them almost not chopped what is adding texture to the cake.
