Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Using a non-stick cooking spray, grease a loaf pan to use later.

Place nuts in a ziplock bag and use a meat tenderizer to crush to desired size.

In a large sized mixing bowl, microwave the butter until fully melted.

Cut bananas into the bowl with the melted butter, use a fork to mash them until well mixed with the butter.

Add eggs and vanilla extract to banana mixture, use the fork to mix well.

In a separate bowl mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and cinnamon.

Using a hand mixer, mix the dry ingredients into the banana mix, mix until well combined.

By hand gently mix in the crushed nuts.

Pour the batter into the pre-greased loaf pan.

Bake at 350 degrees F for 60 minutes, until a knife inserted into the middle of the bread comes out clean.

Allow bread to cool fully before cutting. Best if allowed to cool on a wire cooling rack
