  • Preheat the Oven:
    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C).
  • Prepare the Loaf Pan:
    • Grease a loaf pan with oil and dust it with flour. Set aside.
  • Toast the Walnuts:
    • In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the walnuts until fragrant, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly, then chop coarsely.
  • Combine Dry Ingredients:
    • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and chopped walnuts. Set aside.
  • Combine Wet Ingredients:
    • In another bowl, mix the mashed bananas, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  • Mix the Batter:
    • Using a wooden spoon, gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients just until combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be thick and slightly lumpy to avoid tough bread.
  • Transfer to Pan:
    • Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly.
  • Bake:
    • Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Cool and Serve:
    • Allow the banana nut bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and enjoy!
