Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
Mash bananas in a large bowl, then mix in eggs, sugar, melted butter, milk, and vanilla until combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
Fold the dry mixture into the wet ingredients until just combined to avoid overmixing.
Gently fold in the chopped walnuts, ensuring even distribution.
Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 50-60 minutes. Check for doneness with a skewer.
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
