Paul Hollywood's Banana Bread with Walnuts


Being a big fan of the Great British Baking Show, I recently purchased Paul Hollywood's "How To Bake" cookbook.  This is the very first recipe I have tried in the book.  If you are like me, you probably have a tried and true banana bread recipe.  But come on, this is Paul Hollywood...don't you want to try it?  Because it is a British recipe, it is written in grams.  You can always google to figure out cups, or use a kitchen scale and measure the grams.

3 large bananas, ripe
250 g sugar
124 g unsalted butter, softened
2 medium eggs
250 g flour
2 t. baking powder
120 g walnuts, chopped

Put bananas in your mixer bowl, and using a paddle attachment mash to bananas well.  Add in the sugar and cream until fluffy.  Add the butter and beat until well combined.  Beat in the eggs, one at a time.  Add a spoonful of flour with each egg.  Fold in flour and baking powder.  Fold in walnuts.

Put into a loaf pan that has been either lined with parchment or sprayed with cooking spray.  Bake at 375 degrees F or 190 degrees C. Bake for 40 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean.
