Starbucks Banana Walnut Bread

I was in Starbucks the other day and they were handing out these recipe cards with this recipe on it. It looked good, so I thought I'd give it a try. I made it for breakfast this morning and it was delicious, especially when it was still warm! I even substituted whole wheat flour and you couldn't tell.

3 ripe medium-large bananas (mashed)

1/2 cup + 1/3 cup chopped walnuts

Pre-heat the oven to 325 degrees. Grease and flour a 9x5x3 loaf pan and dust with flour. Blend together the flour, baking soda and salt and set aside. Mix together the egg, sugar and vegetable oil until combined. Add the flour mixture and when blended add the buttermilk, vanilla and mased bananas and mix until combined.
