Total time: P0Y0M0DT1H30M0.000S
Yield: 8 to 10 servings
Ingredients: Cooking spray; 2 cups all-purpose flour; 1 cup walnuts, toasted and coarsely chopped; 1 teaspoon baking powder; 1 teaspoon baking soda; 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon; 3/4 teaspoon salt; 2 large eggs; 2/3 cup granulated sugar; 1/3 cup lightly packed light brown sugar; 1 stick unsalted butter, melted and cooled; 1 1/4 teaspoons pure vanilla extract; 1 1/2 cups mashed overripe bananas (3 to 4 bananas); 1 cup confectioners’ sugar; 3 tablespoons cream cheese, at room temperature; 2 tablespoons milk

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray. Whisk together the flour, walnuts, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt in a medium bowl; set aside.
Whisk together the eggs, granulated sugar and brown sugar in a large bowl until smooth. Whisk in the melted butter and 1 teaspoon vanilla, then whisk in the mashed bananas. Fold in the dry ingredients with a rubber spatula until just combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 60 to 70 minutes. Transfer to a rack and let cool 10 minutes in the pan, then remove the loaf to the rack to cool completely.
For the frosting, whisk the confectioners’ sugar, cream cheese, milk and remaining 1/4 teaspoon vanilla until smooth. Spread over the cooled bread.
