Banana bread is a soft banana loaf cake typical of Anglo-Saxon countries; I’ve made it lactose-free and enriched with walnuts.
To make this recipe, I recommend using fairly ripe bananas because their soft and moist pulp will blend well into the mixture.
Once baked, the banana bread will emit a fantastic aroma throughout the kitchen, and once cooled, it will disappear in a flash!

Steps
To make the banana bread, peel three bananas, transfer them to a bowl, and mash them with a fork until they are pureed.
Then add gradually, while always stirring, the sugar, egg, oil, and vanilla.
Next, add the sifted flour with the baking soda, stirring with a spatula and adding in small batches to prevent lumps.
Also add the chopped walnuts and mix well.
Grease and flour a loaf pan (9×3.3 inches), pour the mixture inside, and level the surface well.
Cut a banana in half and place the halves on the surface, pressing lightly.
Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for 50-60 minutes, perform the toothpick test.
Once baked, let the banana bread cool. Then remove it from the pan, slice, and enjoy!
