Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).

- Stir the mashed bananas into the wet mixture until fully incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cinnamon, and baking powder.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing gently.
- Stir just until everything is combined; avoid overmixing.
- Gently fold the coarsely chopped walnuts into the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.
- Lift the bread out using the parchment paper overhang.
- Slice when slightly cooled and enjoy!
