1 |
Preheat oven
to 350°F. Lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan. |
|
2 |
In large
bowl, beat together the butter, sugar, vanilla,
baking soda and salt. Add the bananas, honey and
eggs, beating until smooth. Add the flour, then
the walnuts (if using), stirring until smooth.
Spoon the batter into prepared pan, smoothing
the top. Let it rest at room temperature for 10
minutes. |

3 |
Bake the
bread for 50 minutes, then gently lay a piece of
aluminum foil over the top, to prevent
over-browning. Bake for an additional 10
minutes, then remove bread from oven. A long
toothpick or cake tester inserted into the
center should come out clean. Allow the loaf to
cool for 10 minutes before removing it from the
pan. Cool completely on a rack. |

***Hey,
This One's a Keeper!- would
make it again. "This was really pretty good for a lower
fat bread. My kids didn't even notice a difference in using the
whole wheat flour instead of white. I'll make this one again."
