How to make banana nut bread
a verbose how-to...
1: Print out a good recipe for banana bread. For example, one of ours. Make sure you have all the required ingredients. For banana-nut bread, this usually includes normal baking ingredients (sugar, flour, eggs, baking powder/soda...) as well as bananas and your nut of choice. (Walnuts are the most popular).
2: Prepare and assemble your ingredients before you start cooking. This prevents running around crazily trying to find your baking soda, mashing bananas while your mixer is running, etc. Plus, now you know for sure that you actually have everything.
3: Follow the recipe directions. Use common sense when baking--don't do anything dangerous and think about what you're doing. You save time by starting to preheat your oven before you mix everything up as well.
4: Bake your banana bread to-be and don't forget to set a timer. If you forget your bread in the oven for a few hours--besides obviously not being able to eat the thing, you could start a fire (one that ends up outside the oven...)
5: Enjoy your banana bread after letting it cool. Leftovers can be frozen or recycled into a dessert.
