Equipment

  • Loaf pan
  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk

Ingredients

  • 3 overripe bananas mashed
  • 1 cup white granulated sugar 200g
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup vegetable or canola oil
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cup all-purpose flour 280g
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 pinch nutmeg
  • 1 cup nuts half walnuts/half pecans, or all walnuts

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F and oil a loaf pan.
  • Mash the 3 bananas thoroughly in a medium mixing bowl. There can be a few chunks, but you want them to mostly be a smooth, thick paste.
  • Beat the sugar into the bananas. Then, add the eggs, oil, and vanilla and mix them in thoroughly.
  • In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking soda and powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Whisk them together until they are well mixed.
  • Add the dry ingredients to the wet and stir until they are combined. Add about 2⁄3 of the walnuts and pecans (or just walnuts if that’s what you’re using) and continue stirring until the batter is well mixed and there are no streaks of flour left.
  • Spread the banana bread batter in the greased loaf pan and sprinkle the top with the remaining nuts.
  • Bake the banana bread for 50 minutes to 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Allow the bread to cool in the pan for a few minutes, then turn it out on a cooling rack and let it cool completely.
