  • ¼ teaspoon salt balances the sweetness and enhances all the flavors.
  • ½ cup chopped walnuts add crunch and nutty flavor; toasting them first elevates their taste!

  3. In another bowl, mix melted butter and granulated sugar until blended, then add the egg, mashed bananas, and vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the sifted flour, baking soda, and salt, then gradually add to the wet ingredients without overmixing.
  5. Fold in the chopped walnuts evenly into the batter.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 60-65 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
  7. Cool the loaf in the pan for about 10-15 minutes before removing and slicing.
