- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

- In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas.
- Stir in the melted butter and sugar.
- Mix in the beaten egg and vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Fold in the chopped walnuts.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes

- You can add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg for extra spice.
- To check for doneness, insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the bread is ready.
