Instructions
Almond Banana Bread Instructions
- Begin by preheating the oven to 375. Grease your metal loaf pan with non-stick spray or line it with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, mash the bananas and then mix them with the milk, melted butter, sugar, vanilla extract, almond extract, nutmeg, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Then, add your flour and mix until a smooth (but slightly lumpy) batter is formed.
- Pour the batter into your loaf pan and bake for about 35 minutes. Carefully remove the loaf from your oven and sprinkle the almonds on top. Return the loaf into the oven and bake for another 10 minutes or until the loaf has completely risen. If you notice that the almonds are browning on top, feel free to cover the loaf with foil and continue to bake until it is completely cooked through.
- Allow the loaf to cool completely on a wire rack. Top with powdered sugar and serve.
