This Banana Walnut Bread is one of our family favorites and is an excellent way to use over-ripe bananas. It is an eggless recipe that is very simple to make and does not require a lot of ingredients. I can be made in less than an hour.
This recipe for Banana Walnut Bread was passed on to me by my cousin, and ever since then, I have made it whenever I have overripe bananas in my fruit basket.

This holiday season, I found that this made a wonderful gift, and because this is an egg-less recipe, I was able to give it to my friends who have children with egg allergies.
Preparation time - 10 mins Cooking time - 45 mins Difficulty level - easy
Ingredients to make Banana Walnut Bread - makes 2 standard loaf pans
- Bananas (mashed) - 3 ripe (over-ripe bananas work very well)
- Vegetable oil - ¼ cup
- Vanilla extract - 1 tsp
- Sugar - 1 cup
- All-purpose flour - 2 cups
- Salt - 1 tsp
- Baking soda - 1 tsp
- Walnuts - 1 cup(chopped)
Procedure to make Banana Walnut Bread -
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
In a mixer, add the mashed bananas, oil, vanilla, and sugar and mix well.
In a separate bowl, sift the flour, salt, and soda together. Add this to the banana mixture and mix well until the flour is well blended. Do not overbeat. Add the walnuts and mix well.
Pour the mixture into the loaf pan and bake for around 45 minutes. Baking time would vary depending on the size of the pan. Check the bread with the toothpick.
Cool for 10 mins in the pan and then remove it on a wire rack and let the Banana Walnut Bread cool completely.

I used around 4 small loaf pans to bake the bread. Mine was done in about 30 minutes.
To serve - Slice the bread and serve with a dollop of whipped cream.

Storing
The bread keeps well for about 4 days outside. If you want to store them longer, the best way would be to freeze them. Once the bread is cooled completely, wrap the whole thing in plastic wrap, place it inside freezer bags, and freeze it. To use it from the freezer, thaw it in the microwave. If I were freezing, I would not slice the bread. This way, the moisture is locked inside, and the bread won’t dry out as much.
Packing

Let the Banana Walnut Bread cool completely. Put it back again inside the same pan you used for baking it (I bought several aluminum baking pans). Wrap the whole thing in plastic wrap and then put it inside small, colorful goody bags and tie it using twist ties. Decorate it with bows and ribbons.
Happy Holidays!!!
