                                          • Preheat oven:
                                            Conventional oven: 375 °F.
                                            Convection oven: 350 °F.
                                          • Combine flours, sugar, instant dry milk, baking powder, nutmeg, baking soda, and salt in a commercial mixer (batch as needed). Using a paddle attachment, mix on low speed for 1 minute. Leave dry ingredients in mixer. Set aside for step 4.
                                          • Combine mashed banana, eggs, water, oil, and vanilla extract in a mixing bowl. Whisk until well combined.
                                          • Add banana and egg mixture to dry ingredients and mix for 30 seconds on low speed just until the dry ingredients are incorporated.
                                          • Add walnuts (optional). Mix for 30 seconds on low speed. Batter will be lumpy. DO NOT OVERMIX.
                                          • Pour 1 qt 2 cups (about 3 lbs) batter into a half steam table pan (12" x 10" x 2 ½") lightly coated with pan-release spray.
                                            For 25 servings, use 1 pan.
                                            For 50 servings, use 2 pans.
                                          • Bake until golden brown:
                                            Conventional oven: 375 °F for 40 minutes.
                                            Convection oven: 350 °F for 35 minutes.
                                          • Portion: Cut each pan 5 x 5 (25 pieces per pan).
                                            Serve 1 piece (2" x 2 ½").
