Ingredients

  • 2 cups (260g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup (112g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 3/4 cup (168g) packed light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 cups (450g) mashed bananas (about 4 large ripe bananas)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (120g) chopped walnuts (or pecans)


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 9×5 loaf pan with nonstick spray and set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. Set aside.
  3. Add the melted butter, oil, and brown sugar to a large bowl and whisk until combined. Add the eggs, mashed banana and vanilla extract and whisk together until well combined.
  4. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until well combined. Don’t over-mix. Gently stir in the nuts.
  5. Add the batter to the prepared pan and bake for 60-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the loaf comes out clean.
  6. Remove the loaf from the oven and allow to cool for 20-30 minutes in the pan, then remove to a cooling rack to finish cooling.
  7. Slice and serve. Store the bread in an air-tight container at room temperature for 3-5 days or in the fridge for up to a week. Best eaten at room temperature.
