Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and prepare an 8x5 inch loaf pan by greasing it or lining it with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, mix together all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together the large egg, granulated sugar, and vegetable oil until smooth and glossy.
  4. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
  5. Fold in the buttermilk, vanilla extract, and mashed ripe bananas until the mixture is lumpy but cohesive.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and sprinkle chopped walnuts on top.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 60-75 minutes, checking for doneness after 60 minutes.
  8. Allow the banana bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
