Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with butter or nonstick cooking spray, and set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth. Add the melted butter and stir until well combined.

Step 4
In a separate medium-sized bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.

If desired, fold in the chopped walnuts for added texture and flavor.

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.
