- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 2 eggs
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and let it heat up while you prepare the dough.
- Prepare the Dry Ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl, mix the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas using a fork or potato masher until smooth. Add the sugar and softened butter, mixing until well combined. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, and then stir in the vanilla extract.
- Combine the Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. Stir in the chopped walnuts.
- Pour the batter into the loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Bake: Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool Down: Once baked, remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. After that, transfer it to a cooling rack to cool completely before slicing.
