Banana bread

I don't know about you but my family just loves banana bread. I haven't made it other than a box before (haha...I know!). So I set out to make a loaf. I was going to use my bread maker for the whole thing. Instead I used it for the mixing part (don't bother...can do the same with a bowl and a hand mixer). The recipe I made turned out not to sweet and I didn't put nuts in it. 

Once it was done, I pulled it out and let it sit. My fur-baby was going nutso...mommy making something I MUST have!!!

Here is the recipe...

Banana Bread

Ingredients

3 large eggs, beaten
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 cup ripe and mashed bananas (took 1.5 large bananas for me)
2 cups all purpose flour
3 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 tsp. salt

Optional

1/2-3/4 cup of Walnuts

Directions

Mix all the ingredients together.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease a loaf pan (9x5 is best)

Once all ingredients are mixed, pour them into the loaf pan.

Bake for 45-60 min at 350. Once the tester or toothpick comes out clean it is done. (My gas oven cooked for 45 mins)

Let cool for 10 minutes, then take it out of the pan and let it sit on a parchment covered wire rack. 

Enjoy!
