Banana Nut Bread

by Irene Lindvall


We're leaving for Vegas in a few hours so I decided on a quick banana bread before we left. I've been feeling great since my last loaf and was ready to try this one especially since the bananas were stinking up the kitchen. I believe that I probably over stirred the banana mixture into the flour mixture. I'm not positive I did, but I thought about it as soon as I did it and usually my intuition is right. I also don't know whether this was a cause of why my loaf came out unbaked in the middle or not, but regardless, it was uncooked in the middle and I am saddened. I left the loaf in for an additional four minutes and then decided to pull it out because it was getting too brown on the outside. I brought it over to my mom's house and we cut the ends off and they tasted great, but the center was still raw. She ended up re-baking it and eating it and it came out fine, but this is obviously not how I want to bake loaves in the future. On a taste note, the recipe is delicious.

Things I learned from this recipe:

My LeCreuset pan may be get resurrected from the back of my pantry. 

Would I make this recipe again?:

Yes

This recipe is close, but mine included the addition of 3/4 cup chopped walnuts and the cook time was 40 - 45 minutes.
