In a separate bowl blend together 6 tablespoons Olive Destination All Natural Butter Flavored extra virgin olive oil 2/3 cup sugar 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
Fold in until combined: 1 cup mashed very ripe bananas (about 2) 1/2 cup toasted chopped walnuts or pecans (optional Combine the wet ingredients in the bowl with the dry ingredients until just incorporated - do not over mix.
Scrape the batter into a pan and spread evenly. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 50 to 60 minutes. Let cool in the pan on a rack for 5 to 10 minutes before unmolding to cool completely on the rack. By Rachel Bradley-Gomez
