This is a recipe from a dear friend of my wife.
I had to give her friend some credit based on the post name.
This is the most incredible banana bread I have ever had the pleasure to enjoy in my life.
My daughters will actually stop eating the bananas so that Pamela will make this.
Truth.
When it’s warm out of the oven, a melting piece of butter on the top off a slice is paradise.

3- large (ripe) bananas
1- cup sugar
1/4 cup butter, softened
1-tsp baking soda
1 1/2 cups flour
1- tsp vanilla extract
1/4 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans work well)

Mix all together.
Pour into a greased loaf pan.
Bake at 325 for 60 minutes or until toothpick comes out clear (inserted into middle of loaf)
