Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (176°C). Butter and flour the bottom and sides of a 9 x 5 x 3 inch (23 x 12 x 7 cm) loaf pan; set aside. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the mashed bananas, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients just until combined, creating a thick and chunky batter. (It’s important not to overmix; the batter should not be smooth. Overmixing can result in tough, rubbery bread.)
Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and place some walnuts on top for garnish. Bake until the bread is golden brown and a cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean, about 60 minutes. Place on a wire rack to cool, then remove the bread from the pan. Serve warm or at room temperature.
