Equipment

  • Digital kitchen scale
  • Stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment or hand mixer and a large mixing bowl
  • 8" by 5" (20cm by 13cm) loaf pan
  • Parchment paper

Ingredients

  • 250 g all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 150 g white granulated sugar
  • 100 g unsalted butter at room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs at room temperature
  • 250 g bananas ripe pureed bananas (the bananas should be weight without skins)
  • 60 g walnuts roughly chopped

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8" by 5" (20cm by 13cm) loaf pan with parchment paper.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment (or use a hand mixer and a bowl), cream together the sugar and unsalted butter until light and fluffy. Then, add the oil and vanilla, and beat until has incorporated.
  • Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition until emulsified.
  • Add the puréed bananas and beat to incorporate.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on the lowest speed until just combined.
  • Fold in the chopped walnuts.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean. Cover with a piece of foil if the top browns too much.
  • Allow the banana walnut bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then remove it from the pan and transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
