Banana-walnut bread recipe

Google+ Pinterest LinkedIn Tumblr +

Be sure to use bananas that are way overripe. If yours aren’t quite there yet, one trick is to put bananas in the oven while it preheats and cook them until they’re black. We opted for quick oats because they won’t be chewy like rolled oats. We’ve used walnut oil in this recipe for the moisture and flavor boost roasted walnut oil provides a deeper nut flavor than walnuts alone.

Ingredients

  • ¾ cup whole buttermilk
  • ½ cup plus 3 Tbsp quick-cooking oats, divided
  • 6 oz (about 1½ cups) plus 1 Tbsp. white whole-wheat flour, divided

  • ⅝ tsp kosher salt, divided
  • ¾ cup plus 3 Tbsp packed light brown sugar, divided
  • 6 Tbsp roasted walnut oil, divided
  • ¼ cup chopped walnuts
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1⅓ cups mashed very ripe bananas (about 3)
  • 1½ tsp. vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • Cooking spray
How to Make It
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Stir buttermilk into ½ cup oats in a bowl; let stand 10 minutes.
  2. Place 6 oz. flour in a bowl. Stir in baking powder, baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  3. Combine 3 tablespoons sugar, 2 tablespoons oil, nuts, cinnamon, ⅛ teaspoon salt, and remaining oats and flour in a small bowl.
