SERVINGS
Equipment
- Large Mixing Bowl
- Loaf Pan
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup Sugar
- 1/4 cup canola or vegetable oil softened
- 1 Egg
- 1 tsp Vanilla
- 4 Bananas over ripe
- 1/5 cups All-Purpose Flour
- 1 tsp Baking Soda
- 1/4 tsp Salt
- 1/2 cup Walnuts chopped, optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Spray a loaf pan generously with cooking oil spray
- In a large bowl, use a large wooden spoon and mix canola oil and sugar until it’s a nice creamy texture.
- Beat in the egg, then add vanilla.
- Add bananas to the mixture and mush and mix them using the wooden spoon. If you have a potato masher, that works well too. If using chopped walnuts, stir them in as well.
- In a separate bowl, sift together flour, baking soda and salt
- Slowly add dry ingredients to the wet ingredients
- Spoon mixture into a loaf pan (standard size is 8 1/2″ x 4 1/2″). Fill loaf pan about 2/3 full to the top. This is important as bread will rise during baking and needs some room. If you have extra batter, make an additional loaf or muffins.
- Bake in preheated oven for about 45 minutes to 1 hour. Use a toothpick placed into the center of the loaf to check for doneness. If the toothpick comes out clean, the banana bread is ready. If it comes out with batter still on it, bake another 10-15 minutes.
