  3. In another large bowl, whisk the beaten egg, granulated sugar, and vegetable oil until smooth.
  4. Add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  5. Fold in buttermilk, vanilla extract, and mashed ripe bananas. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and add walnuts if using.
