The softest BANANA BREAD recipe

INGREDIENTS:
For accuracy, I would recommend using the gram measurements provided as those are the exact quantities I use. Cup measurements are given as estimates (based on US cup measurements) to make it easier for those who do not have a scale.
▢1½ cups (339 g) mashed bananas – about 3 large bananas, must be ripe bananas (the riper the better!)
▢1⅔ cups (200 g) all purpose flour
▢2 tbsp (16 g) cornstarch – also known as cornflour in some countries
▢1 tsp baking powder
▢¾ tsp baking soda
▢½ tsp salt – omit if using salted butter
▢¾ tsp ground cinnamon
▢¾ cup (150 g) soft brown sugar
▢¼ cup (56 g) unsalted butter – room temperature
▢¼ cup (52 g) unflavoured vegetable oil – I use canola oil
▢1½ tsp vanilla essence/extract
▢1 large egg – room temperature, size 7 egg
▢¼ cup walnuts – you can add more or less
Bake at 160 °C (320°F) with the fan on (convection mode) for 1 hour, or until a skewer or knife comes out clean. If you don’t have a fan function, increase the temp to 175°C (347°F).
