Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.

Stir in the vanilla extract and mashed bananas until evenly combined.

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Do not overmix.

Fold in the chopped apples and optional chopped walnuts, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
