Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-Bran cereal
• 3 medium Bananas (ripe and mashed)
• 1.25 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.75 cup Brown sugar (packed)
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (melted)
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Milk
• 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a standard 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the All-Bran cereal and milk. Stir gently and let it sit for about 5 minutes so the cereal can absorb the milk and soften.

Step 3

In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Set aside.

Step 4

To the softened All-Bran mixture, add the mashed bananas, melted butter, brown sugar, egg, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.

Step 5

Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring gently until no dry streaks remain. Do not overmix.

Step 6

If using walnuts, fold them into the batter at this stage.

Step 7

Pour the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
