Step-By-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Prepare an 8x5 inch loaf pan with nonstick spray or line with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon. Set aside.
- In another large bowl, whisk the beaten egg, granulated sugar, and vegetable oil until smooth.
- Add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
- Fold in buttermilk, vanilla extract, and mashed ripe bananas. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and add walnuts if using.
- Bake for 60-75 minutes, checking for doneness with a toothpick. It should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
- Let the banana bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
