Apple Banana Walnut Bread

The two brown, soft, getting way to ripe to eat bananas were begging to be turned into bread. But there were only two. So, I added nuts and an apple to the mix to fill in the empty space and created an amazing loaf! I found the basic start to the banana bread recipe on-line, then added the nuts and apple myself. This bread is super easy and super yummy. Perfect for a cool Autumn evening snack.

Apple Banana Walnut Bread

2 ripe bananas, smashed
1 apple, peeled, diced
1/2 cup walnuts
1/3 cup melted butter
3/4 cup sugar
1 egg, beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon baking soda
Pinch of salt
1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). With a wooden spoon, mix butter into the mashed bananas in a large mixing bowl. Mix in the sugar, egg, and vanilla. Add the baking soda and salt to the mixture and stir. Add the flour and walnuts, mix. Finally add diced up apple, give it a good stir. Pour mixture into a buttered 4x8 inch loaf pan. Bake for 1 hour. Cool on a rack. Remove from pan and slice to serve.


DEEEEEELICIOUS!!!!!!

****Oh...My...God...I know why the bread is sinfully good - I added a shit ton of butter. Oops. I must have read 3/4 cup butter rather than 1/3 cup. I seem to recall scooping three 1/4 cups of butter into the bowl. Oh well, it was awesome if not terribly fattening and artery clogging.
