  • 1/2 cup Chopped Walnuts Can be replaced with chocolate chips for a sweeter loaf.
Optional Toppings

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and prepare an 8x5 inch loaf pan with nonstick spray or parchment paper.
  2. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon until well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, granulated sugar, and vegetable oil until smooth and creamy.
  4. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined; lumps are fine.
  5. Mix in buttermilk, vanilla extract, and mashed bananas, being cautious not to overmix.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smooth the top, and sprinkle with chopped walnuts.
  7. Bake for 60 to 75 minutes, checking with a toothpick. Tent with foil if browning too quickly.
  8. Once baked, cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
