Ingredients

2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup butter melted and cooled
2 large eggs
1/4 cup buttermilk or whole milk
1 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
3 medium ripe bananas mashed [1 1/2 cup]
3/4 cup chopped toasted walnuts or pecans
1/2 cup toffee bits

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spritz a 9x5-inch loaf pan with baking spray
In a medium-size mixing bowl use a whisk to sift together the flour, sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
In a separate bowl whisk together the melted butter, eggs, buttermilk and vanilla.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Add the mashed banana. Mix until the ingredients are fully moistened.
Mix in the walnuts and toffee bits by hand. Spread the batter evenly into the loaf pan.
Bake for 55-60 minutes or until a cake tester inserted into the center shows moist crumbs.
Cool in the pan for 30 minutes then remove and cool completely on a cooling rack.

Notes

To Toast the Nuts: Spread in a single layer on a baking sheet. Toast in a preheated 350°F oven for 6-8 minutes then set aside to cool completely before adding to the batter.
