Full Recipe:
3 ripe bananas
2 large eggs
1 cup organic cane sugar
1½ cups all purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and line a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
Mash the Bananas: In a large bowl, peel and mash the ripe bananas until nearly smooth, leaving a few lumps for texture.
Mix Wet Ingredients: Add the eggs to the mashed bananas and whisk until well combined. Stir in the sugar until the mixture is glossy and thick.
Add Dry Ingredients: Sprinkle the flour evenly over the wet mixture. Gently fold it in using a spatula until just incorporated; avoid overmixing to ensure a tender loaf.
Incorporate Walnuts: Fold in the toasted and chopped walnuts, reserving a few for topping if desired.
Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Sprinkle the reserved walnuts on top. Bake for about 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool and Serve: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and enjoy!
