How to Make Banana Pudding Bread

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter and 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Beat in 4 large eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, ½ teaspoon salt, and 1 cup crushed vanilla wafers.
5. In a small bowl, mash 3 ripe bananas with ¼ cup milk.
6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the mashed banana mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix on low speed until just combined.
7. Stir in ¾ cup chopped walnuts.
8. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and sprinkle with the remaining ¼ cup chopped walnuts.
9. Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Loosely cover with foil after 45 minutes to prevent over-browning.
10. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
