Preheat the oven to 350°F/180°C/gasmark 4, and grease a 1-pound loaf tin.
Cream the butter and sugar, add the eggs (beaten) and the walnuts and banana and mix well gently so as not to break up the walnuts too much.
Sift the flour, salt, and baking powder together, fold into the butter mix, and mix well.
Put into 1-pound greased loaf tin and bake for approx 1½ hours, test by inserting a warm dry skewer into the centre of the loaf. If it comes out clean, the loaf is ready.
Turn the loaf out of the tin onto a wire cooling rack, and allow it to cool before slicing.
Serve and Enjoy!
