Banana Bread


I've been eating banana bread since I was a kid and as an adult I've been trying to make it the right way.  I have made it many times and have never used the same recipe more than once.  Every time I have made it, I was never wowed by it.  It was either too dry, too moist, not enough banana flavor or some other reason.  Last night, I had a bunch of bananas that were ready for the garbage bin but I didn't want them to go to waste.  I looked at all the banana bread recipes I had and came up with something that I feel would be a great tasting recipe.  This is what I came up with and I do like this one - It's a keeper !

Ingredients :

2 eggs
1/3 cup of milk
1/2 cup canola oil
1 cup white sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp of almond extract

Mix all the above ingredients together in a bowl.  Then add 1 cup of bananas.

1 cup mashed bananas


In another bowl, mix the following ingredients.

1 3/4 cup flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet and mix together until blended.

Oven 325. for 60 minutes, check at 45 minutes, oven vary.
