Ingredients

  • 490 g all-purpose flour
  • 5½+⅛ tsp baking powder
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 8 oz butter , softened
  • 320 g turbinado sugar
  • 4 ea . (200 g ) eggs
  • 950 g mashed banana
  • 2 ½ cups walnuts , coarsely chopped
  • Turbinado sugar for sprinkling

Directions

1

Combine the flour, baking powder, and salt.

2

Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.

3

Whisk the eggs, and gradually beat them into the butter mixture.

4

Mix in one third of the flour mixture, followed by half the banana. Continue alternating in this way until all the dry mixture and mashed banana is incorporated.

5

Stir in the walnuts.

6

Grease and line 2 loaf pans . Divide batter evenly between pans. Sprinkle the tops with additional turbinado sugar.

7

Bake at 350°F for at least 1 hour. After this point, check the banana bread every 10 minutes or so until it is done. It will be browned, and a skewer inserted into the center of the loaf should come out clean with no more than moist crumbs attached.

8

Let cool to room temperature in the pans. Unmold.
