• ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

• 1 egg

• 1⅛ cups granulated sugar

• ½ cup vegetable oil

• 2 tablespoons buttermilk

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• 3 extra ripe bananas, mashed

• ½ cup chopped walnuts 

Note: For homemade buttermilk, add ½ tablespoon white vinegar to ½ cup of whole milk and let it sit for 10 minutes.

🔪 Directions

1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease an 8×5-inch loaf pan and line it with parchment paper if desired. 

2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon until combined. 

3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In another medium bowl, whisk together the egg, sugar, and vegetable oil until well combined. 

4. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix well. The batter will be thick.

5. Add Remaining Ingredients: Stir in the buttermilk, vanilla extract, mashed bananas, and chopped walnuts until just combined. 

6. Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake for 60–75 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

7. Cool: Allow the banana bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
