Servings Yield: 1 LoafIngredients- 6 Tbs butter, room temperature
- 1/3 Cup sugar
- 2 Eggs, room temperature
- 1 1/2 Cups super ripe bananas (about 5)
- 1 1/2 Cups all purpose flour
- 1 Tsp baking soda
- 1/2 Tsp baking powder
- 1/4 Tsp Salt
- 1/4 Tsp Vanilla extract
- 1 Cup Coarsely broken macadamia nuts
Instructions- Preheat oven to 350° F.
- In a mixing bowl cream the butter and sugar together and add the eggs.
- Mash the bananas and add to the mixing bowl.
- Stir in 1 cup flour and add the baking soda, baking powder, salt and vanilla extract. Stir to blend and add the remaining 1/2 cup flour. It's important that you stir only to blend the ingredients thoroughly and moisten the flour. Don't over stir or the loaf will be tough.
- Stir in the broken nuts.
- Pour and spoon the mixture into a medium (8" x 4") baking pan, buttered or Teflon, sides and bottom lined with buttered wax paper. Level with the spatula.
- Place the pan in the middle shelf of the oven and bake for about 50-60 minutes, or until dark brown and a wooden skewer inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Gently lay the loaf on its side on a metal cooling rack and tug at the ends of the wax paper to slip the loaf from the pan. Allow the bread to cool before cutting.
