2. In mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
3. Add mashed banana, butter and milk and mix on low speed until combined.
4. Turn speed up to medium and and mix for 2 minutes.
5. Add remaining 3/4 cup of flour and eggs and mix until combined.
6. Stir in nuts.
7. Pour batter in to a greased and floured 8”x4” loaf pan.

*Note* you can substitute nuts for chocolate chips or, use a combination of both. Banana bread is awesome with a swipe of salted butter.
