8 T unsalted butter, room temp
3/4 c granulated sugar
2 eggs
1 c unbleached all-purpose flour

1 t vanilla extract
1/2 c walnuts, coarsely chopped (I omitted)

Mix flour, soda, salt together
Mash bananas with a fork, add vanilla to the banana mixture.
Cream butter and sugar together until fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time and beat.
Alternately add dry and wet ingredients to butter mixture, beginning and ending with the dry (dry-wet-dry-wet-dry)
