Ingredients

  • 1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups ripe mashed banana (about 4 medium bananas)
  • 3/4 cup chopped California walnuts, divided

Preparation

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F and grease and flour a 9 X 5-inch loaf pan.
  2. Whisk together flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt in a medium bowl.
  3. Whisk together oil, maple syrup, yogurt, vanilla and eggs in a large bowl. Fold in flour mixture followed by mashed bananas and walnuts, reserving a small handful of walnuts to sprinkle on top of the batter.
