Banana Bread w/ Toasted Walnuts
Makes one 9-inch loaf

Ingredients
2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting the pan
1 1/4 cups walnuts, chopped coarse
3/4 cup Sugar (if you want to make it Sugar Free add 1 cup sugar substitute instead of Sugar)
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 very ripe, soft, darkly speckled large bananas, mashed well (about 1 1/2 cups)
1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
2 large eggs, beaten lightly
3/4 stick unsalted butter, melted and cooled (or olive oil)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions
  1. Adjust an oven rack to the lower-middle position and heat the oven to 350°F (175°C) degrees. Grease the bottom and sides of a 9 by 5-inch loaf pan; dust with flour, tapping out the excess.
  2. Spread the walnuts on a baking sheet and toast until fragrant, 5 to 10 minutes. Set aside to cool.
  3. Whisk the flour, sugar (or Splenda), baking soda, salt, and walnuts together in a large bowl; set aside.
  4. Mix the mashed bananas, yogurt, eggs, butter, and vanilla with a wooden spoon in a medium bowl. Lightly fold the banana mixture into the dry ingredients with a rubber spatula until just combined and the batter looks thick and chunky. Scrape the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
  5. Bake until the loaf is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 55 minutes. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Very yummy. The addition of TOASTED walnuts added a real depth of flavor I haven't had in a Banana Bread before.
Thanks for sharing!
