Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 1/2 cups Roughly Chopped Walnuts
3/4 cup butter -- softened
8 ounces cream cheee -- softened
1 1/2 cups white sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon bakiong soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 medium bananas -- mashed
Preheat oven to 350F and grease two bread pans. Toast the walnuts in
a dry skillet over medium heat until fragrant, 3 - 5 minutes, then
remove from heat and let cool. Place the butter and cream cheese into
a large bowl, then mix until blended and creamy. Add the sugars and
beat well to combine. Blend in the vanilla, then add the eggs, one at
a time, beating after each one to blend. In a separate bowl, sift
together the dry ingredients, then add to the wet and mix at a low
speed, until just blended. Stir in the bananas and walnuts. Scrape
dough evenly into well greased bread pans and bake for about 1 hour,
or until a toothpick in the middle comes out clean. Cool bread on a
wire rack for about 15 minutes, then remove from pans and allow to
cool an additional 30 minutes before slicing, to avoid excessive crumbling.
HELPFUL TIPS:
If you're up for a more dense, rich, sweet banana bread then this is
the one for you.
