William Shatners Banana Nut Bread Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 350°F.
• Grease and lightly flour a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the flat beater, beat together the butter and sugar on medium speed until creamy, about 1 minute.
• Add the bananas and eggs and beat until smooth. Add the buttermilk and beat just until combined.
• In a bowl, stir together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, nutmeg, salt and nuts.
• Add the flour mixture to the banana mixture and beat just until combined.
• The batter should be slightly lumpy. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
• Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
• Bake until the loaf is dark golden brown and dry to the touch and the edges pull away from the sides of the pan, 55 to 60 minutes.
• A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
• Let the bread rest in the pan for 5 minutes, then turn the loaf out onto a wire rack and let cool completely.
• Cut into thick slices to serve. Makes one 9-by-5-inch loaf.
• Storage Tip: Wrap the bread tightly in plastic wrap and store at room temperature overnight or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
