Ingredients
- 3/4 cup coarsely chopped walnuts (3 ounces)
- 1 1/4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspon 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup canola oil
- 3 medium overripe bananas (1 1/4 cups), mashed
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- Start by preheating the oven to 350°F, then coat a 9x5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray. In a pie pan, spread the walnuts and toast them in the oven for 5 to 8 minutes until they become fragrant. Allow them to cool.
- Begin by whisking together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt in a medium bowl. In a separate bowl, create a creamy mixture by combining sugar, eggs, and oil at high speed. Integrate mashed bananas and vanilla, blending until smooth. Finally, incorporate the dry ingredients and gently fold in the nuts.
- To make your cake, pour the batter into the pan and bake it in the middle of the oven for 50 to 60 minutes. You'll know it's ready when the top is springy, and a cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean. Afterward, allow the loaf to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a rack for complete cooling.
