Bangin Banana Bread
Description
Moist, fluffy and flavorful banana bread with macadamia nuts.
Ingredients
- ½ cup butter, at room temperature
- ½ cup white sugar
- 2 eggs, at room temperature
- 2 ½ cups pureed ripe bananas
- 1 ¼ teaspoons baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup coarsely chopped macadamia nuts
Directions
- Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
- In a mixing bowl, beat the butter and sugar together with an electric mixer until thoroughly blended. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, and add the bananas, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and vanilla extract. Stir in the flour by hand until barely combined, and gently fold the macadamia nuts into the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan, and bake on the oven's middle shelf until a toothpick or cake tester inserted in the middle of the loaf comes out clean, 60 to 65 minutes.
- Remove from oven, and let the loaf rest for 10 minutes before turning out from the pan.
