Classic Banana Bread

Submitted by Julie Twitchell

This recipe came from a coworker years ago. I have tried other banana bread recipes over the years, but this one is my kids' favorite.

1/2 Cup butter at room temperature
1 Cup sugar
2 eggs, well beaten
3 large bananas, mashed
2 Cup flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 Cup chopped nuts, optional

Cream butter and sugar. Add eggs, one at a time, then mashed bananas. Combine dry ingredients in a separate bowl. Then add to banana mixture. Add nuts. Bake in a greased loaf pan at 350 degrees for 50 minutes.
