Add the eggs to the mashed banana mixture and mix until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
Stir in the vanilla extract and chopped walnuts (if using).
Pour the banana bread batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
Bake the banana bread for 55-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Tips:For a moist and tender crumb, make sure not to overmix the batter.If using walnuts, consider toasting them in a 350°F oven for 5-7 minutes before adding to the batter. This enhances their flavor and texture.Wrap cooled banana bread in plastic wrap and store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Freeze for up to 2 months.
