Extreme Banana Nut Bread 'EBNB'

This banana nut bread is my mom's recipe: dense, excellent, and definitely indulgent. It's always completely gone in minutes. This is great at parties, but never lasts long at home. Warning: EBNB may be impossible to resist!

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 cups white sugar
• 1 cup butter, softened
• 1 cup chopped walnuts
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 teaspoons baking soda
• 4 large eggs, beaten
• 2 cups mashed overripe bananas

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour two 9x5-inch loaf pans.

Step 2

Sift flour, baking soda, and salt into a large bowl.

Step 3

Cream sugar and butter together in a separate bowl. Stir in bananas, eggs, and walnuts until well blended.

Step 4

Pour wet ingredients into flour mixture and stir just until blended. Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared pans.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven until a paring knife inserted into the crown of each loaf comes out clean, 60 to 70 minutes.

Step 6

Remove from the oven and let loaves cool in the pans for at least 5 minutes. Turn out onto a cooling rack, and let cool completely, about 30 minutes.

Step 7

Slice and serve. For more intense flavor, wrap each loaf in aluminum foil to keep in the moisture, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
