Banana Walnut Bread 香蕉核桃面包
Hello everyone, how was your weekend? The weather was super hot as usual in the past two days and I was happy and had the mood to bake this super delicious, moist and soft Banana Walnut Bread from Curtis Stone’s recipe. This recipe is very easy to follow with a few quick steps. I’ve reduced the sugar as the ripe bananas were already very sweet and I wanted to achieve a really good end result. We finished almost half of the loaf even it was still warm and left half of it in the refrigerator for morning breakfast. You’ll be surprised it still stayed very soft and fresh even when it was chilled. Definitely a keeper recipe.

Author: Ann Low
Serves: 6
Ingredients
- 1⅔ cups All-purpose flour/plain flour (200g)
- 1 tsp Baking soda
- ¼ tsp Cinnamon powder
- ¼ tsp Salt
- 2 large Eggs (70g each)
- 1¼ cups Sugar (I used ¾ cups - 150g)
- ½ cup Vegetable oil (85g)
- 3 large Very ripe Bananas (300g), coarsely mashed
- 2 tbsp Natural yogurt
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 1½ cups Walnuts, toasted and chopped (100g)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F/175C. Butter (9 x 5 x 3 by inch) metal loaf pan, then dust with flour, knocking out excess. (my loaf pan is 13 inch long)
- Sift together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon powder and salt into a bowl.
- Beat together eggs and sugar in bowl of electric mixer at medium-high speed until very thick and pale and mixture forms a ribbon when beater is lifted, about 10 minutes. Reduce speed to low and add oil in a slow stream, mixing, then mix in bananas, yohurt and vanilla. Remove from mixer and fold in flour mixture and half of the chopped walnuts gently and thoroughly with a rubber spatula.
- Pour the batter into the loaf pan, spreading evenly and sprinkle remaining chopped walnuts on top.
- Bake in middle of oven until golden and a skewer comes out clean, 1 to 1¼ hours. (I only baked for 55 minutes).

Awesome receipe, tried on my round tin instead of loaf, texture is moist and soft.
Hi Ann,I would like to try to bake this delicious cake but I do not have a loaf pan. Can I bake it in a 7" x 7" square pan with the same amount of ingredients ? Also can I omit the cinnamon powder and natural yogurt?Thks and regardsLala
Hi Lala, You can omit the cinnamon powder but without the natural yoghurt, the cake texture will be different. You can use sour cream instead. I'm not sure about the square pan…. why don't you prepare one 7 and one 8 inches square pan as stand by. Just in case the batter is too much for the 7 inches cake pan, you can use the bigger one.
Hi Ann,This is Lala again. Sorry I missed out one question. Can I use 3 eggs of 55g each or do I need to mix the eggs and measure out 140g ?Thks & regardsLala
Morning Lala,So happy to hear that 🙂
Hi Lala, If you're using smaller eggs, then use up to 3 eggs instead. Never mind about the measurement.
Hi Ann,I baked this cake yesterday and I really really love it. It is moist, not so sweet and I specially like the crunchy walnuts. Thanks for sharing this recipe. RegardsLala
Hi Ann,Thanks for your quick response. Am baking the cake tomorrow. Will keep you update you on the outcome. Good night.RegardsLala
This is a popular one with CLAS this month! I can imagine the aroma when this is baking! Looks wonderful!
I made this today and added a dash of ground cloves and nutmeg, it turned out so well! Thanks for sharing 🙂
A classic combination ! It's really better to use oil instead of butter as it'll moist even if you eat it straight from the fridge 😀 Love you DIY cake holder , so creative and pretty as well !
这个好好吃banana+ walnut 是好朋友!
Hi Ann, your banana walnut bread look really good, very well baked. Love your beautiful presentation. Great to go with hot coffee. :))Have a nice day.
That's a very healthy cake. Love it! Besides, banana cake is always one of my top favourites…..mmmm.
This loaf looks very appealing with all the nuts and I like the first picture. Thumbs up, Ann!

So lucky you're not in S'pore now. The weather is really crazily hot 🙁 How I wish we have 27C now.
I just baked a normal banana cake few days ago, but I prefer your banana cake with walnut!
我也听到了, 但是来的很迟没有办法啦! 下回几得留一片给我, 哈哈哈!
Perfect!!!!Looks yummy.
Hi Ann, I must say that not only your banana walnut bread is pretty, so is the paper wrapper! Putting freshly toasted crunchy walnuts is a great idea!
this loaf would be soft and packed with flavours
Thanks Jong 🙂 This is a must try recipe.
Your Banana Walnut Bread is gorgeous. I love the way you wrap them in such a decorative way. This would make the best homemade gift or hostess gift for parties. 🙂
hMMM I LOVE BANANA AND THIS BREAD MAY BE DELICIOUS!!!!
Hi Ann, can i use cake flour instead coz i ran out of plain flour pls? Tia
Hi Wendy, yes, sure you can use cake flour.
Can i replace milk rather than oil?
huiqi
You’ll not get the soft texture without oil.
Hi Ann, Can I use sour cream instead of yogurt for your Banana Walnut Bread?
Hi Irene, Yes you can use sour cream if you don’t have yogurt.
Hi I’m looking for a coconut flour bread or a almond flour n nut bread can u pl help help
Sorry I’ve not made any of the ingredients you request.
Dear Ann,
So impressing with this recipe n want to give it a try…
If I do not have plain yogurt can I replace it with fresh milk or anything else ?
Thank you ….Lesley
Hi Lesley, Thank you for your compliment 🙂 Yes you can use milk instead as it is only 2 tablespoons.
Hi Ann, do you have a video site for all your recipe?
Hi Irene, Sorry, I don’t have a video site.
Hi Ann, If I use Whole grain flour, do I keep to the same amount of flour pls? Thanks.
Hi Zoe, The texture will be different if you’re using whole grain flour. Why don’t you try half plain flour and half whole grain flour and see how.
yumm, I love breads like these, looks delicious
Wow! Very nice presentation and yummy cake!
This must be a very good banana bread recipe. I also want to make one:D Fantastic shots at usual,Your bread looks like from an artisan bakery.
Ann, your banana bread looks delicious! Love that it was generously studded with walnuts.
一块蛋糕给你包装一下就弄得如此漂亮!
小小声跟你说,本来那包好的是要送人。后来既然送到自家的肚子里。。。呵呵呵 😀
Wow, this post is so coincidental as I have just made a banana walnut cake yesterday! Yours look so delicious and moist-y compared to mine which was "drier" as I used butter instead. Can't wait to try this recipe with my remaining walnuts 🙂
Yes, this recipe is a keeper. Have a try, you'll see the difference.
看来娘子”蕉事”又要开始了。哈哈哈哈哈 。。。。。。 小菜园的香蕉成熟啦!
那就赶快动手吧 🙂
