Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and butter a 4x8 inch loaf pan.
In a mixing bowl, mash 2 to 3 ripe bananas with a fork until smooth. Set aside.
Stir the 1/3 cup melted butter into the mashed bananas using a wooden spoon.
Mix 1 teaspoon of baking soda and a pinch of salt into the banana mixture.
Stir in 3/4 cup sugar, 1 beaten egg, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
Add 1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour, stirring until the batter is just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Gently fold in 1/2 cup chopped walnuts, if using, for an added crunch.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for a few minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
