This is an old recipe that belonged to my mother. I've been making this bread since I was a teenager. At a candy striper bake sale a doctor bought this bread and said that this was the best banana bread that he had tasted.

Steps:
- Cream together butter, sugar, & egg yolks until creamy.
- Sift dry ingredients together (flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon & nutmeg). Alternately add the dry mixture to the creamed butter mixture as well as the milk & mashed bananas. Beat the egg whites until a stiff peak forms and fold in with a wooden spoon, (make sure you only use a wooden spoon to do this - this is KEY), next - fold in the chopped nuts also stir in with the wooden spoon.
- Bake in a loaf pan that you have sprayed with olive oil or non-stick spray and dusted lightly with flour at 350° for approximately 45 minutes - insert a toothpick in the center of the loaf to ensure it is not runny, if it is - allow to bake an additional 5-10 minutes.
- Cool on a wire rack and serve with cream cheese or your favorite margarine.
- Note: I love to wait a day and then toast a piece in my toaster oven - it is SO good when it gets re-heated and toasty with butter on it and a cup of coffee - YUM!

Tips:
- Ensure ripe bananas: Use overripe bananas for a sweeter and more flavorful banana bread. The riper the bananas, the better the bread will be.
- Use quality ingredients: Fresh, high-quality ingredients make a big difference in the taste of your banana bread. Use real butter and eggs, and choose a good quality vanilla extract.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can result in a tough, dense banana bread. Mix just until the ingredients are well combined.
- Let the banana bread cool completely before slicing: This will help to prevent the bread from crumbling. If you slice the bread while it's still warm, it's more likely to fall apart.
