Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour (240 grams)
1 teaspoon cinnamon
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
¾ teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

1-¼ cups granulated sugar (250 grams)
⅔ cup vegetable oil (130 grams)
2 large eggs
2 cups mashed ripe banana (about 4 bananas)
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Nuts

¼ cup toasted chopped walnuts
¼ cup toasted chopped pecans

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350° and grease a 9 x 5 inch loaf pan.
In a large bowl, whisk the dry ingredients together
In a medium bowl, whisk the wet ingredients together. Use a large spatula to gently fold the dry mixture into the wet ingredients until they are just combined.
Combine the walnuts and pecans then fold half of the chopped nuts into the batter then pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and top with the remaining chopped nuts.
Bake for 55 to 65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the banana bread cool in the pan for 20 minutes, then remove it from the pan and cool completely on a wire rack.

Notes

Toast the walnuts and pecans before adding them to the batter. Toasted nuts will have more flavor and texture.
To toast the nuts spread them out on a rimmed baking sheet and place them in a pre-heated oven at 350°F. Bake for 5 to 8 minutes or until they are fragrant. Let them cool before chopping them and adding them to the batter.
