2 cups all purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

Add eggs one at a time. Add milk and vanilla. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Add to banana mixture slowly and mix completely. Stir in macadamia nuts. Pour batter into prepared loaf pan. Place in oven and set timer for 50-55 minutes. Bake until golden brown or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.

After Baking: Place loaf pan on a baking rack to cool. Cut into 1/2” slices and serve.

Makes one loaf (about 10-12 slices).

*To toast macadamia nuts, spread onto a cookie sheet. Place in preheated oven on Pure Convection 350° for about 10 minutes. Stir frequently and watch them carefully. Also, beware of steam when you open the oven door. Macadamia nuts are high in oil and can create a lot of steam when baked.
