- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon of baking soda

Directions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan with cooking spray or butter.
In a bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, bananas, and vanilla extract, mix well.
In a separate bowl, stir together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients gradually and mix until just combined.
Add in the chopped walnuts and mix gently. Pour the batter into the greased loaf pan and spread it evenly.
Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
