Toast the Walnuts: Begin by preheating your oven to 350ยฐF (175ยฐC). Spread the chopped walnuts in a single layer on a baking pan. Toast them in the preheated oven for 5 to 10 minutes, or until they are light brown. Keep a close eye on them and stir once or twice to ensure even toasting. The aroma of toasting nuts is absolutely divine, so enjoy this fragrant preview of the delicious bread to come! ๐ฐ๐ฅ

Prepare the Ingredients: Follow your bread machine manufacturerโs instructions for adding ingredients. Typically, this will involve adding the liquid ingredients first, followed by the dry ingredients. Start by pouring the 2/3 cup of milk and 1/2 cup of mashed banana into the bread machine pan. The banana adds a lovely natural sweetness and moisture to the bread, creating a tender crumb. ๐ฅ๐
-
Add the Egg and Butter: Next, add the large egg and 1 tablespoon of softened butter. The egg enriches the dough, while the butter adds a delicious, subtle flavor. ๐ณ๐ง
-
Incorporate the Dry Ingredients: Carefully add the 3 cups of bread flour, ensuring it covers the liquid ingredients. Then sprinkle in the 3 tablespoons of sugar, 3/4 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of ground cinnamon. The cinnamon pairs beautifully with the banana, adding a warm, cozy flavor. ๐๐ฅ
-
Add the Yeast and Walnuts: Finally, create a small well in the flour and add the 3/4 teaspoon of active dry yeast. Close the bread machine lid and set it to the regular or white bread setting. Add the toasted walnuts after the initial kneading cycle, if your bread machine prompts you to do so, or according to your machine’s instructions. ๐๐
-
Bake to Perfection: Let the bread machine do the magic! Once the cycle is complete, remove the bread from the machine and let it cool on a wire rack. The tantalizing aroma of banana and cinnamon will fill your kitchen, making it hard to wait until the bread cools down! ๐โจ
