Ingredients

  • 2 cups All-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon Baking soda
  • 0.5 teaspoon Salt
  • 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (melted and cooled slightly)
  • 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
  • 0.5 cup Brown sugar (packed)
  • 2 pieces Large eggs
  • 1.25 cups Mashed ripe bananas
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
  • 0.5 cup Guinness beer (room temperature)
  • 0.75 cup Chopped walnuts (or pecans)
  • 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and optional ground cinnamon. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth.

Step 4

Add the eggs, mashed bananas, and vanilla extract to the butter mixture. Stir until fully combined.

Step 5

Pour in the Guinness beer and gently mix until just incorporated. The batter may appear slightly thinner due to the beer.

Step 6

Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing until no streaks of flour remain. Avoid overmixing to keep the bread tender.

Step 7

Fold in the chopped walnuts (or pecans) evenly throughout the batter.

Step 8

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Step 11

Serve as-is or with a spread of butter or cream cheese for added indulgence.
