Sliced thick or thin, buttered or plain, it's all good whichever way you eat it.

3	Bananas, medium sized, ripe
2	Eggs
2 cups	Standard flour, lightly packed
¾ cup	Sugar
1 tsp	Baking soda
1 tsp	Salt
½ cup	Walnuts, freshly cracked, chopped

Preheat the oven to 180C and butter a standard loaf tin.
Put the bananas in a large bowl and mash thoroughly. Beat the eggs into the mashed bananas.
Into another bowl sift the flour, sugar, salt and baking soda, making sure that there are no little lumps of soda.
Beat these dry ingredients into the banana mixture and stir in the walnuts(chopped).
Scoop the mixture into the loaf tin and bake for 50-60 minutes until well baked in the middle when tested with a skewer.
Turn out to cool on a rack. Serve warm or cold in slices, thick or thin.
