Ingredients
Scale
- 3 medium or 2 large bananas (about 1 1/2 cups) (360g)
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil (80ml)
- 1/2 cup honey (120ml)
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup milk (60ml)
- 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract or paste (15ml)
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour (210g)
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon (3 ml) salt
- optional mix-ins or toppings: crushed nuts, chocolate chips, peanut butter glaze or frosting
Instructions
- Set your oven to a temperature of 325 degrees and lightly coat an 8½x4½ inch loaf pan with grease.
- In a sizable bowl, blend the vegetable oil and honey using a whisk, then incorporate the eggs, mashed bananas, milk, and vanilla until smooth.
- In another bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Combine the wet mixture with the dry ingredients, stirring only until they are just mixed together.
- Transfer the mixture into the prepared loaf pan and sprinkle any desired toppings on top. If using banana as a topping, cut it lengthwise and place it on the batter with the cut side facing up.
- Place the loaf in the oven and bake for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out free of batter.
- Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes, then move it to a wire rack to continue cooling for at least another 30 minutes before cutting into slices.
Notes
- Consider adding crushed nuts or chocolate chips to the batter for extra texture and flavor.
- Enhance the banana flavor by placing a ripe banana on top of the batter before baking.
- Drizzle a peanut butter glaze or frosting over the cooled banana bread for a decadent finish.
