Ingredients
- 3 bananas, thinly sliced
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 2 tablespoons salted butter, softened, for buttering the pan
- 1 1/2 cups plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 cup roughly chopped walnuts
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Stir together the bananas, granulated sugar, Worcestershire sauce, oil, brown sugar and eggs in a medium bowl. Let rest at room temperature 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter the bottom and sides of a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan and dust with 2 tablespoons flour.
- Whisk together the walnuts, baking powder, cinnamon and remaining 1 1/2 cups flour in a large bowl and toss to coat the walnuts. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir to combine.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 50 minutes to 1 hour. Let cool a bit before removing from pan, slicing and serving.

Reviews
I followed the recipe exactly and it really was a moist and delicious banana bread recipe. I think it will be hit for the holidays this year too.
This is my families favorite banana bread. Anybody that I make it for loves it. It’s so easy to make.
I cannot believe the texture and taste of this Banana Bread !! It is the best I have made, and the texture is so fine. The Worcestershire Sauce must be the salt replacement. What a neat treat – all you have to do is wait what’s left of the 30 minutes after setting up the pan and dry ingredients. I’ll keep this recipe and share it with family.
I have used the same banana bread recipe for years and years, so decided to venture out and try this one. I’m so glad I did. This recipe is excellent! I followed directions exactly. I’ll definitely make this again.
Excellent recipe!!! Great fun during shelter-in-place! I am not a fan of banana bread because I do not like the taste of ripe bananas…but this recipe takes banana bread to a new level!!! Make sure not to skip the 30 minute set time of the wet ingredients…I think this is where the magic happens. The end result was a moist, not overly banana tasting, and an awesome balance of sweet and salty. NO hint of Worcestershire sauce at all. One change; I had to use the reduced sodium Worcestershire sauce because that was all I had. I will definitely be making this recipe again!
I made this banana bread exactly has as written. I could not taste the WS Could smell it. Mine did not rise Sunny’s was twice the size as mine I did everything the recipe said. Any suggestions it taste pretty good
Very interesting – I’m always looking for improved/better recipes… First, I made it exact to recipe (I can’t stand it when people give a review of a recipe when they don’t actually make the recipe). I could not taste the Worcestershire, but could definitely smell it – it was a little offputting. It was definitely most, and I think the WS made it taste a bit too salty. If I try it again, I would cut back on the WS, increase the cinnamon, and maybe add some Mexican vanilla.
more banana ?
This is an awesome banana bread recipe! Don’t be afraid of the Worcestershire sauce. It enhances the entire flavors. I was not disappointed!
I may make it again and leave the Worcestershire sauce out and add a little more sugar as I loved the texture and moistness. Don’t know the purpose of the WS. Unusual mixing method and slicing bananas instead of mashing. I could taste the WS slightly but didn’t care much for it.
