Heat oven to 350. Bake 1 cup walnuts or pecans on a baking sheet for 8 minutes until lightly toasted. Cool then chop coarsely. In a large bowl, mix nuts, 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda and 1/4 teaspoon salt. In a separate bowl, mix 1/2 cup melted butter 1 teaspoon vanilla and 3/4 cup brown sugar. Blend in 2 beaten eggs and 2 1/3 cups mashed overripe bananas. Stir banana mix into flour mix; stir just to moisten. Pour batter into greased 9x5 inch loaf pan. Bake 60 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into center of the loaf comes out clean. Cool in pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack.
