Let’s make it.

  1. Prepare

    Heat oven to 350°F / 175°C. Grease and line a standard 23 × 13 cm loaf pan. Mash bananas in a large bowl.

  2. Combine

    Whisk sugar, eggs, oil, and vanilla into bananas. Mix flour, baking soda, and salt separately, then fold into wet ingredients just until combined. Fold in walnuts.

  3. Bake

    Scrape into the pan. Bake 55–65 minutes until a skewer in the center comes out without wet batter. If the top browns early, tent loosely with foil. Do not taste raw batter.

  4. Cool

    Rest in the pan for 10 minutes, then lift onto a rack. Let cool before slicing; the crumb is fragile while hot. Store covered once cool.

A little kitchen wisdomVery ripe bananas add moisture and sweetness to a simple quick bread. Fold gently after adding flour to avoid a tough crumb.

Make it your own

Omit walnuts if unsuitable, or use chocolate chips after checking their ingredients.
