Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate bowl, mash the bananas until smooth. Add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and melted butter. Mix well.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract and Jersey Black Butter.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the chopped nuts, if using.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly.
Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. If the top is browning too quickly, tent with foil.
Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

For extra moist banana bread, use very ripe bananas with brown spots.
To prevent the top from browning too quickly, tent the loaf pan with aluminum foil during the last 15-20 minutes of baking.
Let the banana bread cool completely before slicing to prevent it from crumbling.
Store leftover banana bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
You can freeze slices of banana bread individually wrapped for easy defrosting.
Add chocolate chips for extra flavor.
