For a richer flavor, use brown butter instead of melted butter. Brown the butter in a saucepan over medium heat until it has a nutty aroma and golden-brown color. Let it cool slightly before adding it to the batter. To toast the walnuts, spread them on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes, or until fragrant and lightly golden. Alternatively, toast them in a dry skillet over medium heat, stirring frequently, until fragrant and lightly golden. For a more intense banana flavor, use overripe bananas with brown spots. If you don't have almond extract, you can substitute vanilla extract or banana extract. Store the cooled loaf in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
