Ingredients
- 4 ripe bananas 450 g / about 1 lb, mashed
- 200 g 1 cup, packed light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 113 ml ½ cup vegetable oil
- 255 g 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon 0.25 g
- ½ teaspoon allspice
- 100 g 1 cup chopped walnuts, divided (¾ cup for batter + ¼ cup for topping)
- 30 g about ½ cup banana chips, crushed, for topping
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease and line a 9x5-inch (23x13 cm) loaf pan with parchment paper.
- Whisk the wet ingredients together: The brown sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and vegetable oil until well combined.
- To the same bowl sift flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and allspice.
- Stir gently until just combined (do not overmix).
- Fold in walnuts: Stir in about ¾ cup (75 g) chopped walnuts.
- Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle the top with the remaining walnuts and crushed banana chips.
- Bake for 55–65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. If the top browns too quickly, cover loosely with foil during the last 15 minutes.
- Cool: Let the bread cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
