For the moistest bread, do not over-mix the batter.

Feel free to swap out the walnuts or leave them out altogether.
You can add a sprinkle of cinnamon or some chocolate chips into the batter to give it an extra boost of flavor.
Double this recipe if you'd like to make two loaves.

Store any leftover bread in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Here's how to make it:

Cream the butter and sugar together with an electric mixer.
Add the mashed bananas, eggs and vanilla. Blend well.
In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt. Add it to the wet ingredients.
Fold in the walnuts.
Pour the batter into a greased and floured 9x5-inch loaf pan. Bake in a preheated 350-degree F oven for about 1 hour or until a toothpick comes out clean.
