Ingredients

  • 3 medium ripe bananas
  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup walnuts
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, mash the 3 bananas until smooth. Stir in the 2 eggs and 3/4 cup sugar until well combined.

  3. 3

    Add the 1.5 cups flour and 1 teaspoon baking soda to the banana mixture. Stir just until no dry streaks remain; batter will be lumpy.

  4. 4

    Fold in the 1/2 cup walnuts, then pour batter into the prepared pan.

  5. 5

    Bake for 50-60 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool in pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
