About Banana bread

Banana bread is a sweet quick bread made with mashed ripe bananas. Stephanie Jaworski’s Joy of Baking recipe represents the familiar loaf style, with walnuts selected from its walnut-or-pecan choice.

Ripe banana provides the main fruit flavour, supported by sugar, cinnamon and vanilla. Unsalted butter gives the loaf richness, while the walnuts add a nutty note.

The loaf has a moist interior and a golden-brown crust that is crisp when freshly baked and softens during storage. The source offers it warm or at room temperature.
