This could be the simplest and best banana bread I have ever made. Great served with whipped cream on each slice.

Preheat oven 325 F.

Cream the following:

• 1/4 cup unsalted butter (1/2 stick)
• 1 cup brown sugar 
• 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
• 2 eggs

Add to mixture:

• 3 smashed bananas
• 1 teaspoon vanilla 
• 1/2 c chopped or ground walnuts

Mix in

• 1 1/2 cups self-rising flour (this is not regular flour; one must use self-rising flour!)

Place batter in greased or buttered loaf pan.  Bake for 1 hour or until brown.
