Image Step 06
06 Step

Recipe View Remove the banana bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes before removing it from the pan to cool completely. This prevents the bread from sticking and allows it to retain its moisture. Slice and serve. (15 minutes)

For an extra depth of flavor, try browning the butter before adding it to the batter.
Feel free to substitute other nuts, such as pecans or almonds, for the walnuts.
If you don't have cooking spray, grease the pan with butter or oil and dust with flour.
Ripe bananas are key to moist and flavorful bread. The blacker, the better!
Store leftover banana bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
