Equipment

5 x 9 inch loaf pan
2 large mixing bowls
Small mixing bowl
Wooden spoon
Cooling rack

Ingredients

1/2 cup maple syrup
1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
1 whole egg
3 ripe bananas mashed
1 teaspoon maple extract or vanilla extract
3 Tablespoons whole milk
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/3 cup walnuts chopped
1 Tablespoon sugar

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F and prep a loaf pan by greasing with butter or coating with non-stick spray.
Combine maple syrup and melted butter in a large mixing bowl.
Stir in the egg and banana, taking care to leave some of the small banana chunks.
Add in the maple or vanilla extract and milk and stir to mix.
In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and baking powder.
Slowly scoop the the banana mixture into your bowl of dry ingredients, stirring as you go. Stop mixing when ingredients are just combined, so as not to over-mix.
Scoop the batter into your prepared loaf pan.
In a small bowl, mix the nuts and sugar, then sprinkle evenly on top of the bread batter.
Bake for 50 minutes, until a knife inserted in the center of the loaf comes out clean.
Allow to cool a bit in the loaf pan, then shake to loosen, and flip onto a wire rack to finish cooling.
