Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease and flour 9×5 inch bread pan and set aside.

In a large bowl using a spatula mix together flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, baking powder, milk, butter, eggs and bananas until well incorporated.

Add nuts and stir thoroughly.

Pour mixture into bread pan and bake for 60 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. I used my large vintage pyrex bowl for mixing the ingredients.

Using oven mitts carefully remove bread pan from oven and place hot bread pan on a cooling rack. Allow to cool for about 10 minutes. Then gently remove from pan.

Cut bread with a sharp serrated bread knife and serve warm with butter (if desired) and enjoy! To make fancy little round butter balls use a melon baller like this.

After bread has cooled completely store in a sealed container wrap in foil. Last 4-5 days at room temperature and even longer if kept in the refrigerator.

Enjoy!
