Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 4 eggs, separated
- 2/3 cup milk
- 3 ripe bananas, mashed
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C).
- Grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan lightly with cooking spray or butter.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt.
- Add the vegetable oil, maple syrup, and egg yolks to the bowl. Stir well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
- Pour in the milk and mashed bananas. Stir the mixture until smooth and well incorporated.
- Fold in the chopped walnuts, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the batter until no streaks remain, being careful not to deflate the mixture.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.
- Once baked, remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.
- Transfer the bread from the pan to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.

Recipe Notes:
- For added flavor and texture, consider tossing the chopped walnuts in a bit of flour before adding them to the batter. This helps prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the loaf during baking.
- Make sure your bananas are ripe for the best flavor. Overripe bananas with brown spots on the peel are ideal as they are sweeter and mash more easily.
- Store any leftover bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage. Simply thaw at room temperature or reheat in the oven before serving.
