Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a standard loaf pan with non-stick cooking spray or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon. Set aside.
In a large bowl, peel and mash the ripe bananas using a fork or potato masher until smooth.
Add the brown sugar, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas and mix until well combined.
Whisk in the eggs, one at a time, making sure each is fully incorporated before adding the next.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the chopped walnuts evenly into the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50 to 55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
Allow the banana nut bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, slice and serve. Enjoy your homemade dairy-free banana nut bread!
