Let's gather the ingredients!
- 2 cups ripe bananas mashed
- ½ cup unsalted butter melted
- ¾ cup light brown sugar packed
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- 2 large eggs at room temperature
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup whole wheat flour
- ½ cup rolled oats
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ¾ tsp kosher salt
- 1 tsp cinnamon ground
- ½ cup walnuts toasted, roughly chopped
Let's Begin!
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan. Set aside.
In a large bowl, stir together the mashed banana, butter, sugar, maple syrup, eggs, and vanilla.
Mix the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, rolled oats, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and chopped walnuts into the banana mixture.
Scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl and mix again to thoroughly combine the ingredients. Be careful not to overmix. Gently pour the batter into the prepared pan.
Bake the banana bread for 60 to 70 minutes, until a paring knife or a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the bread from the oven. Cool it in the pan for 15 minutes, then loosen the edges, and turn it out of the pan onto a rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy with family and friends!
