This Banana Nut Bread from the Food Network is easy to make and perfect to snack on any time of day.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a 9x5x3-inch loaf pan. In a medium bowl, sift 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt and set aside. Whisk 2 large eggs and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla together in a liquid measuring cup with a spout and set aside.

Using a stand or handheld mixer, cream together 1/2 cup unsalted butter (room temperature) and 1 cup sugar until light and fluffy. Gradually pour the egg mixture into the butter mixture and mix until incorporated. Mash 3 ripe bananas with a fork and add to batter.

Remove bowl from stand mixer and stir in flour mixture until just incorporated. Stir in 1/2 cup toasted walnut pieces. Add batter to the prepared tin and bake for 55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow bread to cool in the pan on a wire rack for 5 minutes before turning the bread out of the pan to cool completely.
