4. Ingredients and Utensils Needed:

5. Let’s do a little prep work first

6. Helpful tip: Use a simple fork to mash your
bananas. A fork does a great job on the banana
with no special equipment and no added
expense.

7. Combine the dry ingredients in a
bowl

8. Combine Wet Ingredients

9. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients mixing as you
go.

10. Batter will begin to bubble and swell from the baking soda and baking powder. You need these
bubbles to make a beautifully moist quick bread with a light, but firm texture. Without the
bubbles, your bread will become dense and dry.

11. Now that everything
is well blended,
carefully fold your
finely chopped nuts
into the batter. Make
sure to give it a good
stir so they distribute
evenly throughout the
bread.

12. Carefully pour
your fluffy
batter into
your greased
and floured
pans. Try to
keep the
batter off the
edges!

13. Pop your quick bread into a 325°F for about 45
minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

14. Times up, pull your bread out! The top is golden-brown and crispy
and makes a beautiful crunch sound when you push the toothpick
through. The inside is moist and light. Place it on a cooling rack still
in the pan.

15. After the bread cools, turn the pan over and it
will pop right out as long as you have oiled
and floured your pans well.

16. Eat it plain, with a little butter, or a lot of butter. But
don’t forget to use a yummy low fat butter substitute
like Brummel and Brown Yoghurt Blend. Now cut off
a hunk and enjoy!
