As you can see, my bananas were reallllllly ripe and frozen, thawed in the microwave for 35 second
Bread Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F, grease a 9x5 loaf pan. Cream together butter and sugar in a large bowl. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each egg. Mix in vanilla and banana mash.
In a seperate bowl, mix flour, baking powder and salt.
(ok, I did my eggs at the same time, but Ive made this many times and I cheat alot with baking, ALOT)
Slowly add the flour mixture to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Fold in nutsand pour into pan.
Streusal Topping Directions:
Cut the butter, sugar and flour together with a fork or your hands until crumbly

Remove from pan and let cool or eat it with ice cream while HOT!!!! Super delicious!!
