Banana Nut Bread

For a few days, I've been seeing that my bananas are going bad and I have been thinking to make banana nut bread with these ripe bananas.
Finally this morning after only 5.5 hours of sleep, I decided I need to surf the internet for a recipe and make it.
Finding all the ingredients in a small Italian supermarket was easier than I thought.
I came home after grocery shopping and started preparing.
At the end, I didn't follow the recipe that I had found online but it's quite similar.

These "dessert" was actually pretty good. I got a good response and best of all, it was the first time that I made this in my life.

Below you can find the actual ingredients that I used:
  • 3 medium sized eggs
  • 125 grams of sugar (if you want it very sweet, you will need to add more sugar)
  • 3 ripe bananas
  • 50 grams of butter
  • 60g of walnuts
  • 10g of vanilla flavoring in powder
  • 16 grams of cornstarch
  • 1 and 2/3 cups of flour (I used Pioneer pancake mix)
  • 80ml of milk
  • 1/2 table spoon of salt

I mixed the butter and the sugar first, then I added the eggs to the mix.
In a separate plate I smashed the bananas and added then to the mix once they were mushy.
I added one cup of flour and mixed to make the mixture thicker.
I added the milk and the remaining 2/3 cups of flour with the cornstarch and the vanilla flavoring.
Once the mixture is all mixed, I cut up all the walnuts in small pieces added them to the mix with the 1/2 Tbsp of salt and ta-da, the mix is done.

Pre-heat the oven to 225°C.
Put the mix in a baking pan and bake for 50 minutes at 175°C and then 10 minutes to 150°C.
Let it sit 10-15 minutes and it will be ready to eat.
