Nutty Banana Bread

Nutty Banana Bread

Did this Bread, but yet does not taste like bread, more like cake from this webpage - http://www.bettycrocker.com/recipes/banana-bread 

Overall, taste fantastic like you bought from outside.  May substitute walnuts with fresh blueberries next time. Wonder how the taste would be like??  Did half the portion of the recipe instead so we don't end up with too much food.

Ingredients:

1/2 + 1/8 cups                         1 1/4 cups sugar
60 gm                                      113 gm  (1/2 cup) butter or margarine, softened
1 egg                                       2 eggs
2                                              4 very ripe bananas (1 1/2 cups)
1/4 cup                                    1/2 cup buttermilk
1/2 tsp                                     1 tsp vanilla
1 + 1/4 cups                            2 1/2 cups Philly all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp                                     1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp                                     1 tsp salt
1/2 cup                                    1 cup chopped walnuts

Method:

1.    Preheat oven to 180 degC and Grease 2 loaf pans 8 x 4 x 2 inches or 1 loaf pan 9 x 5 x 3 inches.

2.    Medium bowl: sift flour, baking soda and salt. set aside.

3.    Large bowl: Electric mixer - cream butter till smooth. Add in sugar and eggs, beat until well blended.

4.    Add in mashed bananas, buttermilk and vanilla. Beat until smooth.

5.    Spatula - stir in flour mixture until just moistened. Stir in nuts.

6.    Pour into pans and baked for about 40 minutes at 160 degC since I use only half the recipe until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes . Loosen sides of loaves from pans; remove from pans and place top side up on wire rack to cool completely, about 1 hour before slicing.
