1 cup granulated sugar

1/4 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup chopped macadamia nuts, toasted*
1 Tablespoon unsalted butter
Adjust oven rack to position 2. Preheat oven on Convection Bake to 325° . In an electric mixer with a paddle attachment, cream together butter
and sugar on medium speed. Add peeled bananas. Add eggs one at a time. Add milk and vanilla. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine flour,
baking soda, baking powder and salt. Add to banana mixture slowly and mix completely. Stir in macadamia nuts. Pour batter into prepared loaf
pan. Place in oven and set timer for 50-55 minutes. Bake until golden brown or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
After Baking: Place loaf pan on a baking rack to cool. Cut into 1/2” slices and serve.

* To toast macadamia nuts, spread onto a cookie sheet. Place in preheated oven on Pure Convection 350° for about 10 minutes. Stir frequently
and watch them carefully. Also, beware of steam when you open the oven door. Macadamia nuts are high in oil and can create a lot of steam
when baked.
