Baking Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease two 8×4-inch loaf pans; set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt; set aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar, oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Add the bananas and stir gently to combine.
  • Add the flour mixture and stir until completely blended. Using a rubber spatula, fold in the walnuts.
  • Divide the mixture into the two loaf pans. Bake for 35 to 45 minutes, or until a thin knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • If the loaves begin to get too dark before they are done in the middle, cover with foil.
  • Allow to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Wrap cooled bread tightly in plastic wrap and store at room temperature for up to 5 days. Freezes well for up to 3 months. Check baking time if using different loaf size.
