Ingredients

  • Mazola Pure® No-Stick Canola or Butter Flavored Cooking Spray
  • 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 2 teaspoons Argo® Baking Powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg
  • ¾ cup mashed bananas
  • ½ cup Mazola® Corn Oil
  • ½ teaspoon Spice Islands® Pure Vanilla Extract
  • ½ cup chopped walnuts

Directions

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray an 8 1/2×4 1/2-inch loaf pan with cooking spray.

Step 2
Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a medium mixing bowl. Whisk together egg, bananas, oil, and vanilla in another bowl. Add to flour mixture and stir until flour is moistened. Fold in walnuts.

Step 3
Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan.

Step 4
Bake in the preheated oven until puffed and golden brown, 35 to 40 minutes. A wooden pick inserted in the center should come out clean.

Step 5
Transfer loaf pan to a rack to cool for 10 minutes before turning out of the pan. Serve warm or store in an air-tight container.

Tips

Reserve 2 tablespoons of the walnuts and use to sprinkle on top before baking.

    I really really liked this Banana Bread! My house smelled Amazing while this was baking! Its perfectly moist and I Love That it had a nice crust on the outside without being to hard and crunchy lol I enjoyed this with my morning coffee slathered in butter! For me You honestly cant go wrong with this recipe! My only changes were I omitted the nuts (just a personal preference) and added a dash of cinnamon to the batter!

    This is a good, basic recipe that makes wonderful banana bread with good flavor and texture.

    I seem to always have over-ripe bananas around that need to be used up, and I like to try different banana bread recipes, and this one was pretty good. Not the best one that I’ve ever made, but good. It is much lighter in color than the other banana breads that I’ve made, and it was delicious served warm with a slather of butter and a cup of coffee. Yum!

    Great recipe! I love banana bread and this was no exception! It’s also a great way to use up the last of the really ripe bananas. Since I like a sweeter banana bread I added an additional 1/2 cup of brown sugar. I also upped the vanilla to 2 tsp. and added 1 tsp. of cinnamon. Definitely spray your pan with cooking spray so it doesn’t stick. I sprinkled the top with additional chopped walnuts before popping it into the oven for about 45 mintues. The bread smelled wonderful and rose very nicely. Absolutely delicious and perfect with a piping hot cup of tea!

    I liked this banana bread. It had more of cake texture than that dense texture so many banana breads have. I think I actually liked that better. In the future I may make this in a cake pan and frost it with a lite icing. This is not a very tall banana bread, but I was just baking it for my home so it worked fine. ty

    All we tasted was baking soda and baking powder….the vanilla and banana couldn’t cover the taste of those two bitter things!

    • 10 years ago

    Very good, moist and easy to make. I was surprised there was no cinnamon or spices, but it was good. I subbed pecans since that’s all I had and it was great. I might add a little nutmeg next time.

    • 10 years ago

    Followed the recipe exactly except I didn’t have nuts here so could not add those; which is a bummer because I love them! Great basic recipe. I would make this again but definitely add a little spice and the nuts. Not sure why, but this took just about an hour to bake instead of 35-40 minutes as stated in the recipe. Not a big issue because I wasn’t making it for a special occasion or in a time crunch.

    • 10 years ago

    This is a basic banana bread, it could definitely use some cinnamon.

    • 10 years ago

    I did add 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon and used pecans. I thought it was a good bread, very easy to make will make again! Thanks

    No soda in the recipe.
    The nuts make a big difference.

    • 9 years ago

    It was good but it was a bit dry but then when I put apple butter on it, that took it to a whole new level!

    • 9 years ago

    I used canola instead of corn oil, used glazed walnuts and sprinkled extra walnuts on top. Also, used a square pan, like a 6″x6″ and baked for only 30 minutes. Came out perfect. I think next time I’ll double the banana because it doesn’t have as much banana flavor as I like. Great recipe and easy to make! Thanks so much.

    I found it okay but somewhat uninteresting. Followed the recipe exactly.

    • 9 years ago

    Simple quick recipe. I substituted the oil with applesauce and had a tad more (closer to full c.) of banana. Also added a dash of ground cloves, ginger, and two dashes of cinnamon.

    I will definitely make this again. It was quick and easy to prepare. I followed the recipe exactly and won’t change a thing next time. It was great to find a recipe that called for 3/4 cup of mashed bananas. Thanks for sharing.

    • 8 years ago

    followed recipe exactly but used crushed pecans instead of walnuts. very dense and moist but eating plain without butter lacks flavor.

    • 7 years ago

    Just added a few more walnuts but everyone loved it. Very easy to mix together and bake. perfect for a late night snack.

    • 7 years ago

    I love it. does need to be sweeter. May try the adds in last comment and loaf pain, lol

    This recipe is perfect!!!!The entire family loves it and I have made it more than once!! Thanks for sharing

    • 6 years ago

    Didn?t make any changes. Very moist and delicious! Will make again.

    • 5 years ago

    Tastey, but you better eat it right away. Moist straight out of the oven but by the next day it was pretty dry.

    • 5 years ago

    This is by far the best combination of ingredients needed for Banana walnut bread. This turned out great.

    • 5 years ago

    Great recipe! The only thing I added was a little cinnamon.

    • 5 years ago

    I substituted the eggs with unsweetened applesauce for a vegan. The recipe got rave reviews. For me it was a little too sweet. But, for a sweet tooth it is perfect.

    • 5 years ago

    Made this recipes muffins for my husband, with the addition of his favourite golden raisins – he loved it! The best he has had. Simple, sweet, and scrumptious recipe. Thank you!

    Great recipe and easy to make.

    • 5 years ago

    looked great until I went to cut it. fell apart instantly. tastes great though.

    • 5 years ago

    I used a teaspoon each of cinnamon and nutmeg just because it’s Christmas and turned out amazing

    • 4 years ago

    Love this recipe. Moist and delicious! I added 1 TBSP of marmalade. This is a keeper.

    • 4 years ago

    Easy peasey..my quick make for church Sunday Morning go to..

    • 4 years ago

    Loved it! Very moist. Forgot to take a “before” pic so here’s an “in between” pic.

    • 4 years ago

    I am not much of a baker, but this was pretty easy and pretty good. Alittle dry, but very good with coffee or milk. I added dried cranberries and and used apple sauce instead of oil and followed recipe as it is. I will make it again.

    • 4 years ago

    Very easy and a lot of fun to make. Hardly takes any time, and the finished bread was delicious. The cooking time was exactly right (I used a shallow 9×9 pan). I wanted just a “taste” but ended up having a whole slice, couldn’t stop myself.

    • 3 years ago

    Very happy with the results although I did finesse it a little. I used 3 ripe bananas (about 1 1/4 cups) instead of the 3/4 cup given in the recipe. At the recommendation of another reviewer I added a 1/2 cup of brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon and doubled the vanilla. Next time I think I?ll increase the nuts.

    • 3 years ago

    Great recipe , I made it in a caste iron skillet. Unfortunately, it didn?t rise as much as I expected but other than that a great breakfast treat!

    • 3 years ago

    The best & easiest to make banana bread ever! I?d show you a picture but it was gone before it had a chance to cool. DELISH!!!

    • 2 years ago

    Added 1/2 cup of choc chips

    • 2 years ago

    I substituted 1/2 of the oil for apple sauce. Really moist and oh so delicious. I should have doubled the recipe. It was gone in 5 minutes

    • 1 year ago

    I thought the bread was dry and didn’t pack a punch compared to other banana breads I’ve tasted
