Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan and set it aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, beat the eggs with a mixer until light. Add the sugar and continue beating until well combined.
Slowly add the oil to the egg mixture, beating continuously until the mixture is smooth.
Stir in the buttermilk and vanilla extract to the wet ingredients.
Add the mashed bananas and mix until everything is evenly combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the chopped walnuts.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Remove from oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
