* 2 large ripe bananas, mashed
* 1/4 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Instructions:

6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
7. Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
8. Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
