- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 117 g walnuts
- 72.5 g raisins (optional)

Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 175 Celsius. Grease and flour a bread loaf pan (9.25 long x 5.25 wide x 2.75 deep).
-
Lightly roast walnuts on a skillet, continuously stirring so they won’t burn. Coarsely chop and cool to room temperature.
-
In a mixing bowl, cream together 8 Tbsp softened butter and agave nectar.
-
Mash bananas with a fork until the consistency of chunky applesauce and add them to the batter along with 2 eggs, mixing until blended.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together: 187.5g of flour, 1 tsp of baking soda and 1/2 tsp of salt then add to batter.
-
Add 1/2 tsp of vanilla extract and mix in chopped walnuts and raisins. Pour into prepared loaf pan. Bake at 175 Celsius for 55-60 min or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let banana bread rest for 10 min before transferring to a wire rack to cool.
