  • 12 teaspoon salt

Instructions

Prepare the Oven and Pan

  • Set your oven's rack in the center and heat it to 350 degrees F.
  • Use parchment paper to line a 9 by 5-inch loaf pan, and then gently grease the pan with nonstick cooking spray. Cooking spray should then be used to lightly coat the parchment paper.

Make Batter

  • Mash Bananas in a bowl until smooth.
  • Mix sugar, butter, and eggs. Whisk on low with a whisk attachment.
  • Add dry ingredients to wet in a separate basin. Combine on low.

Make Bread

  • Mix in nuts and pour batter into a loaf pan.
  • Add nuts.
  • Cut the batter lengthwise 1/2 inch deep.
  • Bake until a toothpick comes out clean or with wet breadcrumbs.

Cool Bread

  • 10 minutes later, remove the bread from the pan. After 1 hour and 50 minutes, flip the pan over and let the bread cool on a wire rack.

Serve

  • Slice and serve.
