Moist Banana Bread with Walnuts

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch (23x13 cm) loaf pan and set it aside for later use.

In a large mixing bowl, use a fork or a blender to mash the bananas until smooth. Set aside.

In another mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Add the mashed bananas to the wet ingredients and mix until smooth.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the banana mixture, stirring until just combined.

Fold in the chopped walnuts into the banana mixture until evenly distributed.

Pour the banana-walnut mixture into the prepared loaf pan and smooth out the top.

Bake the banana bread for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes before slicing.
