Add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and mix everything together until well incorporated.

In another bowl, combine 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1 cup quick cooking oats, mixing until well combined.

Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and mix until just incorporated, being careful not to over mix.

Gently fold in 1/2 cup chopped walnuts into the batter.

In a separate bowl, prepare the cinnamon topping by mixing 1/4 cup softened butter, 1/4 cup sugar, 1/4 cup flour, and 1 tablespoon cinnamon until it forms coarse crumbs.

Spray a 9 by 5 bread pan with nonstick spray.

Pour half of the batter into the prepared bread pan.

Sprinkle half of the cinnamon topping over the batter.

Add the remaining batter and spread it evenly.

Top with the remaining cinnamon mixture.

Bake at 350°F for 50 to 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.

Let the banana bread cool before slicing to ensure it is sturdy.
