1 Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease an 8x4 or 9x5-inch loaf pan. If desired, line the bottom and two long sides with a sheet of parchment paper.
2 In a large bowl, whisk together the mashed banana, maple syrup, coconut oil, eggs, and vanilla.
3 In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose and whole wheat flours, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg.
4 Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined. Don’t overmix. Fold in the walnuts.
5 Pour the batter into the prepared pan and sprinkle the oats evenly on top.
6 Bake for 50 to 65 minutes, or until the top springs back to the touch. A toothpick inserted should come out with just a few moist crumbs attached. I like to check the loaf after 45 minutes. If the top is golden brown, I cover it with foil for the remaining bake time to prevent further browning.
