Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 medium extra ripe bananas (mashed)
  • 1 cup white granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup canola oil
  • 2 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour (sifted)
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Mash the bananas in a large mixing bowl until smooth.
  3. Add granulated sugar, canola oil, vanilla extract, and eggs; whisk until well-blended.
  4. In a separate bowl, sift together all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry mixture to the banana mixture and stir until just combined.
  6. Pour the batter into a greased loaf pan, smooth out the top, and sprinkle optional nuts or chocolate chips over the surface.
  7. Bake for about 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean.
  8. Remove from the oven; let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
  9. Slice and serve warm or at room temperature, with optional powdered sugar dusting or glaze.

Notes

  • Use ripe bananas for enhanced sweetness and flavor.
  • Mix just until combined to avoid a dense texture.
  • Store at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer preservation.
