This banana bread is sweetened with maple syrup and spiced with cinnamon and nutmeg for the perfect fall treat.
Ingredients
- nonstick cooking spray
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda

- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 3 ripe bananas
- 2 eggs
- ½ cup vegetable oil

Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a loaf pan with nonstick spray.
- Combine flour, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg in a bowl. Set aside.
- Mash bananas until mostly smooth but some chunks remain. Add eggs, oil, maple syrup, sugar, and vanilla extract; mix with a wooden spoon. Add flour mixture and walnuts. Mix just until flour is moistened. Pour batter into the prepared pan.
