Good tasting but I think I would add a little more salt the next time...texture was great and the flavor was spot on. The only nuts I had on hand were pecans, they worked well with the recipe.
Instead of using one big loaf pan I used some mini ones and some heart shaped mini pans to experiment for Valentines Day!! Also, this way I can give most of the loaves to my family and friends. The recipe made 5 mini loaves and 2 heart shaped ones!
This is the recipe I used:
Source: Heirloom Baking with the Brass Sisters
1 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 cup butter, melted
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup sugar
1 egg, beaten
1 1/3 cups mashed bananas (about 3 medium bananas)
1 1/2 cups finely chopped walnuts
Set the oven rack in the middle position. Preheat the oven to 350 F. Line a 9 X 5 X 3-inch loaf pan with a strip of parchment and coat the pan and the liner with cooking spray.
Sift together flour, baking soda, salt, and nutmeg.
Cream butter and both sugars in the bowl of a standing mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Add egg and bananas and combine. Add sifted dry ingredients. Fold in nuts.
Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake 50 to 55 minutes, or until loaf comes out clean. Cool on rack. Store covered with paper towel and wax paper at room temperature.
Thanks Carol !!!
