A very moist and dense banana nut bread that will have your brunch guests begging for the recipe. This recipe works well for low and high altitudes without making any adjustments.
1 ⅓ cups vegetable oil
2 cups white sugar
4 eggs, whisked
5 cups mashed bananas
1 tablespoon lemon juice
4 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups chopped walnuts
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour two 9x5-inch loaf pans.
Beat vegetable oil and sugar together in a bowl until creamy and smooth; stir in eggs.
Mash bananas and lemon juice together in a separate bowl; mix into oil mixture until just incorporated.
Sift flour, baking powder, and salt together in a third bowl. Slowly mix into the wet mixture using an electric mixer on low until just incorporated; do not overmix. Fold in walnuts. Pour batter into the two prepared loaf pans.
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center of the loaf comes out somewhat clean, about 1 hour 15 minutes. If the toothpick comes out clean, you have overcooked the bread.
