Ingredients

• 2 cups all purpose flour

• 1 teaspoon baking soda

• 1/4 teaspoon salt

• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

• 1 large egg

• 1 1/8 cups granulated sugar

• 1/2 cup vegetable oil

• 2 tablespoons buttermilk

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• 3 ripe bananas, mashed

• 1/2 cup chopped walnuts

Directions:

1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease an 8x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

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

3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, beat the egg, sugar, and vegetable oil until well combined.

4. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. The batter will be thick.

5. Add Wet Ingredients: Stir in the buttermilk, vanilla extract, and mashed bananas until the mixture is smooth.

6. Add Walnuts: Fold in the chopped walnuts.

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

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