Ingredients

• 1 ¼ cups All purpose Flour
• 2 Large well ripe bananas(with more brown skin)
• ½ cup chopped walnuts
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 2 large eggs
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
• ¾ cup sugar
• ½ cup unsalted butter, at room temperature

Preparation

Bring all the ingredients to room temperature.
Mix flour, salt and baking soda in a small bowl.
Whisk the eggs and vanilla extract in another bowl and set aside. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and coat a 9 x 5 loaf pan with butter/clarified butter(ghee).
Cream the butter and sugar in a large bowl with electric hand mixer or stand mixer. Pour the egg and vanilla mixture into the same bowl and mix it until they are combined.
If using bananas with full brown skin, mash it with fork. I used bananas with little brown skin, so blended it well in Indian mixer. Now add the mashed/blended bananas to the butter mixture and mix them well with electric hand mixer/stand mixer.
Now fold the mixed salt, flour and baking soda mixer with the banana, egg mixture using a spatula and pour them to the pan and bake it for 55 minutes or until inserting a tooth pick and came out clear.
