Ingredients

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking soda

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
2 eggs
4 ripe bananas, mashed

2 Whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt in a small bowl; set aside.
3 Cream white sugar, brown sugar, and butter in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs, one at a time. Mix in mashed bananas. Add flour mixture alternately with buttermilk, mixing well after each addition. Stir in chopped walnuts. Pour batter into the prepared pans.
