Banana Bread is good for you

I make banana bread regularly and often look at recipes to explore different ways to kick it up. One thing I don't like about most recipes is they use 1-1.5 cups of sugar, which is way too much. My recipe uses a lot less sugar. Instead I use more nuts, salt and vanilla to give it flavor.

1.5 cups all purpose flour
1 cup chopped walnuts
1/4-1/3 cup sugar
1.5 tsp baking powder
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
2 eggs
1.5 tsp vanilla
1 tsp cinnamon (optional)
2 large ripe bananas
1/2 cup butter (1 stick)
1/2 cup milk

Preheat the oven 350 degrees.

Mash the bananas with 1/4 cup sugar. Once it's mixed, add the egg, vanilla, melted butter and milk.

In a separate bowl, combine flour, walnuts, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Mix the dry ingredients a little. Add the wet to the dry and fold until it's mixed. Don't over mix. Grease a loaf pan with some oil.

Pour the dough into the pan and bake for 55-60 minutes. Once it's done, let it cool for 10-15min before serving it.
