Ingredients

  • 1 ⅓ cups vegetable oil

  • 2 cups white sugar

  • 4 eggs, whisked

  • 5 cups mashed bananas

  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

  • 4 cups all-purpose flour

  • 2 tablespoons baking powder

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 2 cups chopped walnuts

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour two 9x5-inch loaf pans.

  2. Beat vegetable oil and sugar together in a bowl until creamy and smooth; stir in eggs.

  3. Mash bananas and lemon juice together in a separate bowl; mix into oil mixture until just incorporated.

  4. Sift flour, baking powder, and salt together in a third bowl. Slowly mix into the wet mixture using an electric mixer on low until just incorporated; do not overmix. Fold in walnuts. Pour batter into the two prepared loaf pans.

  5. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center of the loaf comes out somewhat clean, about 1 hour 15 minutes. If the toothpick comes out clean, you have overcooked the bread.

Cook’s Note

I usually freeze the second loaf, then vacuum pack it and put it back in the freezer for later. Done this way, the bread is good for up to 6 months.
