Cream butter & sugar.  Add eggs and nuts. Stir in mashed bananas.  Add remaining ingredients.  Pour in greased pans.  Bake at 350 degrees for 45-55 minutes until done.  If you make mini loaves, about 30-35 minutes.  If you make mini muffins, 12-15 minutes.

 here is the recipe I have been using for years....at least 15....it's from a cookbook put out by home economics teachers in Calif....bought the book from one of my daughters for a school fund raiser way back when...you melt the butter.....which I love cause I can never get the butter and sugar creamed enough for my tastes...

1/2 cup butter

3 bananas

2 eggs

1/2 cup sugar

2 cups flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 cup chopped walnuts 

melt butter in microwave in a larger glass bowl....let cool....mash the bananas and add to butter....add in eggs and sugar....blend well with wooded spoon...add in flour and baking soda....mix to combine...add in walnuts....spoon into a loaf pan sprayed with pam....let sit 15 minutes....bake at 350 degrees for 45-60 minutes...

or can be made in prepared muffin pan....let sit 15 minutes and bake at 400 degrees 20-25 minutes....
