Delicious Banana Nut Bread

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan with butter or non-stick spray.

In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth. Aim for a uniform consistency with no large lumps.

In a separate bowl, cream together softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the mashed bananas and vanilla extract.

In another bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the banana mixture, stirring until just combined.

Fold in the chopped walnuts gently, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Bake in the preheated oven for 60-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Once done, remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
