Steps
-----

Pre-heat oven to 350 F. Grease a 13 X 9-inch rectangular pan or two 9-inch round pans

Dry Ingredients - Mix the flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. Set aside covered.
Mash the bananas till you get a paste-like texture.
Wet Ingredients - Take a bowl and start by whisking melted butter and sugar till creamy
Beat in the eggs one at a time while whisking, add the mashed bananas and vanilla essence


Mixing the wet and dry - Add a portion of flour mixture into wet batter and gently mix. Now add a portion of the milk and mix. Repeat this till you're done adding both.
Finally add in the walnuts and give the batter a final stir, gently (we do not want to over-mix the batter, just ensure all ingredients are incorporated)
Pour batter into pan(s)
Bake for 35-40 minutes
At 35 minutes, do a tooth-pick test, if it comes out clean, remove, cool and store either at cool room temp. or in fridge.
