• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) cinnamon, ground

• 0.25 Cup (C) whole milk

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and set aside.
2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the sugar and softened butter until light and fluffy.
3. Add the whisked eggs and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, and beat until well combined.
4. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, oats, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the mashed bananas and milk. Mix until just combined.
6. Gently fold in the toasted and chopped walnuts, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
9. Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
