Banana Bread

This is tasty, easy, and adaptable --  you can use a mixer, food processor or do everything by hand. From The Kitchn. This makes two loaf pans, with 4 to 6 very ripe bananas.

  1 C    100 g  Walnuts (optional)
 16 Tbs  230 g  Butter, softened
  2 C    450 g  Sugar
  4        4    Eggs
  2 t     10 ml Vanilla
  2 tsp    8 g  Baking Soda (Baking Powder works too)
1/2 C    120 ml Milk
4-6      550 g  Banana, chopped or mashed
  4 C    625 g  Flour

Preheat oven to 325F/165C convection or 350F/175C regular.
Line 2 loaf pans with parchment to make a sling and mist with cooking oil spray.
Chop the walnuts (you can do this with a pulse or two if you're using a food processor); toast until fragrant.
Cream the Butter with Sugar in the food processor, or just melt Butter and combine with Sugar.
Whiz or mix in Eggs, Vanilla, Baking Soda.
Chop or mash the banana: a pastry cutter or potato masher work well; don't use a food processor as it makes them too wet.
In a large bowl, combine the sugar-butter-egg mix with Milk, Banana, Flour, and stir to combine; don't over-work, it's OK if a little flour isn't incorporated thoroughly.
Pour into lined bread pans, shiggle to even out the thick batter a bit.
Bake for about 60 minutes until a skewer comes out clean.
Pull out with paper slings and let cool on rack.
