Ingredients
Directions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth. You can leave some small chunks if you prefer more texture in the bread.
Add the melted butter to the mashed bananas and mix well.
Stir in the sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
If using, fold in the chopped walnuts gently into the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 60-65 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Once baked, remove from the oven and let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
