Equipment

Ingredients

3 Bananas Spotty and Brown
½ cup Brown Sugar
2 Eggs
½ cup Butter Melted
1 teaspoon Vanilla
1 teaspoon Cinnamon
1 ¾ cup All Purpose Flour
4 teaspoon Baking Powder
½ teaspoon Salt
1 cup Chopped Walnuts

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a loaf pan with cooking spray or butter and line it with parchment paper. Allow some of the parchment paper to overhang the sides of the loaf pan.
In a large bowl add the peeled bananas and mash well.
Add the melted butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla to the bowl. Mix well until all the ingredients are incorporated.
Add the flour, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt to the bowl. Mix until just combined. It's ok if there are a few lumps left in the batter.
Fold in the chopped walnuts and mix until just combined. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 1 hour. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of the loaf. If it comes out clean, the bread is done.
Allow the bread to cool before cutting into it.

Notes

If the top of the loaf is getting too brown, cover the loaf pan with a piece of aluminum foil until the bread is done.
