Easy Bisquick Banana Bread

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.

In a large mixing bowl, mash the overripe bananas with a fork until smooth.

Add the sugar, eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Mix well until all ingredients are combined.

Gradually add the Bisquick baking mix to the wet ingredients and stir just until combined. Be careful not to overmix; some lumps are okay.

If using, fold in the chopped walnuts or pecans at this stage.

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth 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.

Once baked, remove from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer the bread to a wire rack to cool completely.
