8 T unsalted butter, room temp
3/4 c granulated sugar
2 eggs
1 c unbleached all-purpose flour
1 t baking soda
1/2 t salt
1 c whole wheat flour (I used all purpose)
3 large ripe bananas, mashed (1 1/4 cups - 1 1/2 cups)
1 t vanilla extract
1/2 c walnuts, coarsely chopped (I omitted)
Preheat oven to 350. Grease 9 x 5 x 3 inch loaf pan. (I used a bundt pan)
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)
Pour into pan. Bake 50-60 min, or until cake tester comes out clean (I look for a few mini moist crumbs). Cool in pan 10 min, then on rack.
