Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a loaf pan with parchment paper.

If using, fold in the chopped walnuts until evenly distributed in the batter.

Step 6

Pour the banana bread batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
