This delicious quick bread is more nut bread with a hint of banana than a recipe that is super sweet banana bread with nuts. Make sense? If you love the traditional nut bread I've shared, you will lose this adaptation of the recipe from my mom's favorites.

Ingredients
- 1/2 Cup butter softened
- 1 Cup granulated sugar

- 3/4 Cup chopped pecans or walnuts
Instructions
