3. In another bowl using an electric mixer on med speed, combine the mild, oil, eggs, vanilla, and mashed banana until there are no lumps. Make a well in the flour mixture and add the banana mixture all at once. Using a spatula or large spoon, stir gently until just barely combined. Fold in the 1/2 c chopped walnuts and diced banana.
