Food: Banana Bread

My husband and I usually go to the grocery store on Sundays for the week and the bananas that were so fresh on Sunday afternoon don't look as fresh and appetizing anymore by the following Saturday morning. I've been making this banana bread recipe for years to use up those left over bananas. The recipe actually works best with very ripe bananas. It's super easy and within an hour those old bananas will turn into fresh and delicious banana bread.

Ingredients

• 1/3 cup canola oil
• 1 cup dark brown sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 3 medium bananas, mashed
• 1 tsp. vanilla extract
• 2 cups all purpose flour
• 1 tsp. baking soda
• 1 tsp. ground cinnamon

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In a mixing bowl combine oil, sugar, eggs, mashed bananas and vanilla extract. Add in flour, baking soda and cinnamon and mix on low speed with an electric mixer. Pour mixture into a greased loaf pan and bake for 1 hour. Let cool before cutting. 

Since there are no preservatives the banana bread stays fresh for only one week in an air tight container. 

Enjoy!
