This is a favorite snack in our house!

Banana Bread
 
5 1/3 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
2/3 cup granulated sugar
1 1/3 c all-purpose flour
3/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp baking powder
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 c mashed very ripe banana (about 2)
1/2 c coarsely chopped walnuts

Preheat oven to 350. Grease an 8 1/2 x 4 1/2-inch loaf pan.

Whisk together flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder. Set aside.
Mix butter and sugar together in high speed until light and fluffy, two or three minutes. Beat in the flour mixture in low speed until blended and the consistency of brown sugar. Gradually beat in eggs. Fold in bananas and walnuts with spatula until just combined.
Scrape batter into pan and spread evenly. Bake until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, 50-60 minutes. Let cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes before taking out of pan to cool completely.
