Ingredients

• 3 large ripe bananas
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter
• 2 large eggs
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.75 cup chopped walnuts

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 large mixing bowl, mash the bananas with a fork until mostly smooth. Set aside.

Step 3

In another mixing bowl, cream together the granulated sugar and unsalted butter until light and fluffy.

Step 4

Add the eggs to the butter mixture one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined. Take care not to overmix to keep the bread tender.

Step 7

Fold in the mashed bananas and chopped walnuts until evenly distributed in the batter.

Step 8

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.

Step 10

Remove the banana nut bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.

Step 11

Sharon's Note: For an extra touch, sprinkle a handful of chopped walnuts over the top of the batter before baking to create a crunchy topping.
