Yield::1 9×5-inch loaf
Ingredients
1 cup white sugar
½ cup butter
2 large eggs
3 ripe bananas, mashed
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup chopped walnuts
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
Cream sugar and butter in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in mashed bananas. Sift together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl; beat into banana mixture just until combined. Fold in nuts. Pour batter into the prepared pan.
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean, about 1 hour.
