Brown Sugar Walnut Banana Bread

So it took a while to figure out what to bake for this blog, but then my friend Josh suggested that I make a banana bread but do something different in it. So that is what I did. This banana bread was very good. Probably the best that i have ever had. So here is the recipe, I hope you like it!

Brown sugar walnuts:

Preheat oven to 350

1/2 stick butter
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
A pinch of nutmeg
3/4 cup chopped walnuts

Melt the butter and then add the rest of the ingredients in a pot. Spread the mixture on a pan with parchment paper, and put it in the oven for 10 minutes. Don't freak out if the mixture spreads out.

The Banana Bread:

1 1/2 cup flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
1/4 cup melted butter
1 egg
3/4 cup sugar
3 large ripe bananas

In a small bowl mix the flour, baking soda and salt and set it aside. In a large bowl mash the bananas and with an electric mixer add the rest of the ingredients. mix in the dry ingredients with a wooden spoon. Add 3/4 of the brown sugar walnuts to the batter and mix it together. Grease and flour 5x9 pan. Scrape the batter into the pan and pour the rest of the walnuts on the top. Bake it for 1 hour.

Enjoy!

About me.

This blog is about treats, such as cupcakes, cakes and other yummy goodies that I make. Also, I think that I am going to write about bakeries that I visit that are really good, but we'll see what happens. I have been baking since I was 10, and I hope to someday start a bakery with my sister-in-law. That is my dream. What I bake will vary a lot, but on Saturdays I will always make something that is breakfast related because every morning for as long as I can remember, my dad has made pancakes, so that is my plan.


Here is a picture of me and my sister and my sister in law. We live in Chicago so there are plenty of bakeries to try out. I am going to try to write as often as possible, and post a bunch of photos.
