Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and move the rack to one above the center.
For dry ingredients, on a piece of parchment paper or in a medium sized bowl, mix together 2 cups flour, 3 tsp. baking powder, and 1/2 tsp. salt.
In a seperate bowl, cream 1/2 cup room temperature butter with 1 cup sugar. Add 2 eggs (room temperature for best results) and beat until light and fluffy (this makes the bread extra moist and airy). Add 2 ripe bananas, 1 tsp. lemon juice, and 1 tsp. lemon zest to the egg mixture; stir until incorporated. Stir in dry ingredients and 1 cup chopped nuts (pecans or walnuts).
Grease Pampered Chef Brownie Pan with room temperature butter and fill cups 2/3 full (two scoops of batter using the Medium Scoop). Bake for approximately 12-15 minutes.
Makes 18 squares.
