Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with a little vegetable oil or non-stick cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas thoroughly using a fork or potato masher until smooth.
Add the brown sugar, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and eggs to the mashed bananas. Mix until well combined and smooth.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the banana mixture, stirring gently just until combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the chopped walnuts gently, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve. Enjoy your dairy-free banana walnut bread either warm or at room temperature.
