Step 1 : Preheat oven to 350F and keep it ready. Spread the walnuts in an oven proof tray and toast for 7 minutes. Keep an eye on them while toasting to avoid them getting too brown. Remove and cool. (Dry toast in a frying pan over stove top also works ) Reserve half of the walnuts for topping and chop the rest roughly. Melt the butter and cool. Keep a loaf pan ready all buttered or lined with parchment paper for baking. Mash the bananas using your hand removing all lumps.
Step 2 : Take a bowl, combine all purpose flour, salt, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and finely chopped toasted walnuts.
Step 3 : Take a bowl, lightly beat the eggs with a whisk, add butter, vanilla and mashed bananas. Combine all these to make a thick batter.
Step 4 : Now slowly add the dry ingredients combined in step 2 to this wet batter. gently fold with a spatula until all well combined to make a chunky batter.
Step 5 : Pour this over the greased pan and top them with the remaining toasted walnuts and bake for about 55 to 60 minutes in the middle rack or until a toothpick or knife inserted comes out clean.
Step 6 : Once baked, cool it completely, slice and serve.
Notes
Yield: 1 loaf or 8 to 9 slices.
This bread will be good only for 3 to 4 days. Use of blight brown or dark sugar gives good flavor. Its also OK to use regular white sugar. Always use ripe medium sized bananas for this bread. 3 bananas should yield about 1 to 1 1/3 cup of mashed banana puree.
You can also use half wheat flour and half all purpose for this recipe. Cake will be slightly dense.
