--------  ------------  --------------------------------
                         Batter:
   454            grams  banana -- mashed, 2C, about 5 medium
      1/2           cup  vegetable oil -- (99g)
   1                cup  light brown sugar -- packed, or dark brown (213g)
   2              large  eggs
   1           teaspoon  Vanilla Extract
   120                g  All-Purpose Flour -- (1C)
   113                g  White Whole Wheat Flour -- (1C)
   1           teaspoon  baking soda
      1/2      teaspoon  baking powder
      3/4      teaspoon  salt
   1           teaspoon  cinnamon
   57                 g  chopped walnuts -- toasted if desired (1/2C); optional
                         Topping:
   1         tablespoon  granulated sugar -- (13g)
      1/2      teaspoon  cinnamon

Nuts may be omitted or replaced with up to 1 cup chopped dried fruit, 
chocolate or butterscotch chips, sunflower or pumpkin seeds, or other 
mix-ins of your choice.

Preheat the oven to 350F with a rack in the center position. Lightly 
grease a 9" x 5" loaf pan; if your pan is glass or stoneware, reduce 
the oven temperature to 325F.

In a large bowl, stir together the mashed banana, oil, sugar, eggs, 
and vanilla.

Weigh your flours; or measure them by gently spooning into a cup, 
then sweeping off any excess. Mix the flours, baking soda, baking 
powder, salt, cinnamon, and chopped walnuts into the banana mixture. 
Scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl and mix again to thoroughly 
combine the ingredients.

Scoop the batter into the prepared pan. Mix together the sugar and 
cinnamon, and sprinkle over the batter.

Bake the bread for about 60 to 75 minutes, until the bread feels set 
on the top, and a paring knife (or other thin knife) inserted into 
the center comes out clean, or with just a few moist crumbs (but no 
wet batter). If you have a digital thermometer, the bread's 
temperature at the center should register about 205F. If the bread 
appears to be browning too quickly, tent it with aluminum foil for 
the final 15 to 20 minutes of baking. Note: If baking in a glass or 
stoneware pan, increase the baking time by 10 to 15 minutes.

Remove the bread from the oven. Cool it in the pan for 15 minutes, 
then loosen the edges, and turn it out of the pan onto a rack to cool 
completely.

Storage information: Store leftover bread, tightly wrapped, at room 
temperature for several days. Freeze for longer storage.
