Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 egg
  • 1 1/8 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 tbsp buttermilk
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3 ripe bananas mashed
  • 1/2 cup walnuts optional

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk
  • Loaf pan
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Cooling rack

Method
 

  1. Get Started: Warm up your oven to 325°F (163°C). Make sure the loaf pan is greased and floured.
  2. Go for dry components: Take a spacious bowl, mix the flour, baking soda, and salt together.
  3. Attend to the wet components: Grab another bowl, combine the egg, sugar, and vegetable oil. Ensure it's a smooth blend. Add in buttermilk, vanilla extract.
  4. Blend: Slowly blend the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, then gently mix in the mashed bananas. You can add walnuts if you want.
  5. Now, it's baking time: Pour your batter into the loaf pan you prepared earlier. Set your timer for 60–70 minutes, or until clean toothpick test.
  6. Be Patient: Let the banana bread rest in the pan for a while, say 10 minutes. Afterwards, move it to a cooling rack till it's totally chill.

Notes

  • Ensure bananas are very ripe for maximum flavour
  • For an extra nutty flavour, toast the walnuts before adding them to the batter.
