How to Make Old Fashioned Banana Bread
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar in a mixing bowl using a hand mixer until light and fluffy.
  3. Incorporate the eggs and vanilla extract into the mixture, then gently fold in the mashed overripe bananas.
  4. Combine the dry ingredients: whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and walnuts.
  5. Fold the dry mixture into the banana mixture carefully until just combined.
  6. Prepare a loaf pan by spraying it with non-stick spray and pour the batter evenly into the pan.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for about 1 hour or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  8. Cool the banana bread in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack.
