Goin' Bananas for Universal Cafe's Banana Bread

I know I've spotted a gem of an eatery when all of us three bee's are happy, content and excited to be eating there. At Universal Cafe for Sunday Brunch the Bee's were buzzing with delight. We especially loved the Banana Bread with Whipped Cream Cheese, and so again at my Beehive I begin to whip up my version of Universal Cafe's Banana Bread with Whipped Cream Cheese.

Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter
3/4 cup brown sugar
2 eggs, beaten
2 1/3 cups mashed overripe bananas
1 cup chopped nuts (walnuts perfered)Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C)
Lightly grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
In a large bowl, combine flour, baking soda and salt.
In a separate bowl, cream together butter and brown sugar.
Stir in eggs, mashed bananas, and nuts into creamed butter until well blended.
Stir banana mixture into flour mixture; stir just to moisten.
Pour batter into prepared loaf pan.
Bake in preheated oven for 60 to 65 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into center of the loaf comes out clean.
Let bread cool in pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack.
