This easy Bisquick™ Banana-Nut Bread Recipe uses simple pantry staples, and every ingredient helps create the moist texture, tender crumb and classic flavor that make banana bread so popular.
Bananas: Very ripe bananas are key to this bread. They add natural sweetness, rich banana flavor and plenty of moisture, which helps keep the loaf soft and tender.
Sugar: Sugar sweetens the batter and also helps create a softer texture in the finished banana bread.
Milk: A small amount of milk adds moisture and helps blend the batter smoothly.
Vegetable Oil: Oil keeps this banana nut bread moist and gives it a soft, tender crumb.
Vanilla: Vanilla adds warm, sweet flavor that rounds out the banana and nut flavors.
Eggs: Eggs help bind the ingredients together and give the loaf structure so it bakes up properly.
Bisquick™ Original Pancake & Baking Mix: This shortcut ingredient makes the recipe especially easy by providing the baking base for the loaf, helping save time while still delivering homemade taste.
Chopped nuts: Nuts add texture, crunch and a nutty flavor that pairs perfectly with banana. You can use additional chopped nuts for a pretty finish and a little extra crunch.
With just a few simple steps you cake made, bake, and enjoy this bread.
Heat the oven to 350°F and grease just the bottom of a 9x5x3-inch loaf pan. Starting with a properly prepared pan helps the banana bread release easily after baking.
Stir together the mashed bananas, sugar, milk, vegetable oil, vanilla and eggs until everything is well blended. Using very ripe bananas is important because they give the bread the best banana flavor and moisture.
Stir in the Bisquick™ Original Pancake & Baking Mix and chopped nuts just until blended, then pour the batter into the pan. If you’d like, sprinkle extra chopped nuts on top. Be careful not to overmix, because that can make the loaf less tender.
Bake for 57 to 62 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the loaf cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then loosen the edges and remove it to a cooling rack. Cool completely, about 2 hours, before slicing so the bread sets properly and cuts cleanly.
To keep this Bisquick™ Banana-Nut Bread fresh, let the loaf cool completely before storing it.
Once cooled, wrap it tightly or place it in an airtight container at room temperature. This helps the banana bread stay moist and protects it from drying out. It will stay fresh for up to 3 days.
If you’d like to keep it longer, you can freeze it for later. Wrap the loaf tightly in foil and place in a freezer bag. Store for up to 2 months. Thaw at room temperature before slicing and serving.
Heat oven to 350°F. Grease the bottom of a 9x5x3-inch loaf pan.
In a large bowl, stir bananas, sugar, milk, oil, vanilla, and eggs until blended. Stir in Bisquick™ mix and nuts just until blended. Pour into the pan. Sprinkle with additional nuts, if desired.
Bake 57 to 62 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool in the pan on a cooling rack for 10 minutes. Run a metal spatula or knife around the edge of the loaf to loosen it from the pan; remove from the pan and place top side up on the cooling rack. Cool completely, about 2 hours, before slicing. Wrap tightly and store at room temperature.
