A delightful twist on the classic banana bread, incorporating the zesty flavor of oranges and the crunch of nuts.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a bread pan.
Greasing the pan ensures the bread doesn't stick and comes out easily.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and chopped walnuts.
Mixing the dry ingredients thoroughly ensures even distribution of leavening agents.
In a blender, blend the ripe bananas, eggs, honey, orange zest, and orange juice until smooth.
Blending the wet ingredients creates a smooth mixture that incorporates easily with the dry mix.
Pour the blended wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
Avoid overmixing to prevent the bread from becoming dense.
Pour the batter into the prepared bread pan and smooth the top.
Smoothing the top ensures even baking and a neat appearance.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Check the bread at 40 minutes to avoid overbaking.
Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Cooling the bread completely helps it set and makes slicing easier.
Slice and serve your Nutty Citrus Banana Loaf. Enjoy!
Serve with a spread of butter or cream cheese for added flavor.
