Brown Sugar Banana Bread

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan. You can use butter, but I find that regular cooking spray works just as well.
2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Add eggs one at a time, beating well with each addition.
4. Add vanilla, cinnamon, and bananas, and mix well. If you’re using a stand or handheld mixer, there’s no need to mash the bananas first.
5. Add flour, baking powder, and salt and stir just to combine.
6. Fold in walnuts and/or chocolate chips and blueberries.
8. Pour batter into the loaf pan.
9. Sprinkle brown or white sugar and a few walnuts on top (optional but definitely tasty) for crunch.
10. Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour, until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.
