2 ½ cups pureed ripe bananas

Description
-
Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
-
In a mixing bowl, beat the butter and sugar together with an electric mixer until thoroughly blended. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, and add the bananas, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and vanilla extract. Stir in the flour by hand until barely combined, and gently fold the macadamia nuts into the batter.
-
Pour the batter into the prepared pan, and bake on the oven's middle shelf until a toothpick or cake tester inserted in the middle of the loaf comes out clean, 60 to 65 minutes.
-
Remove from oven, and let the loaf rest for 10 minutes before turning out from the pan.
