Extreme Banana Nut Bread 'EBNB'

Ingredients

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

Instructions

1. 1

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

2. 2

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

3. 3

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

4. 4

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

5. 5

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

6. 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.

7. 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.
