Everyone loves banana bread. Well, most people do, except for those who don’t like bananas. But regardless, banana bread has always been a favorite of mine and of my family as well. I’ve always had the assumption that bananas were hard to bake with due to their consistency, so I was surprised at how quick and easy this recipe was prepared in the bread machine. Yes, another bread machine recipe. Again, it could easily be modified to be made by hand, but with alot more work and alot more stress. I suggest you get a bread machine. They are excellent for people who are lazy, like me.
Simple Banana Bread☆
● 2 cups all-purpose flour
● 2 tsp baking powder
● 1/2 tsp baking soda
● 1/2 white sugar (The original recipe called for 3/4 cup of sugar – WAY too much in my opinion.)
● 3 tbsp vegetable oil
● 2 eggs
● 2 bananas, peeled and halved lengthwise
1. Place ingredients in the pan of the bread machine. The banana halves will be mashed up during the mixing cycle.
2. Select the “quick bread” setting on your bread machine (if there is one). If not, use the basic dough setting or equivalent for your bread machine. If you only have the dough setting, after the cycle has finished, select the Bake setting, and press Start. The Bake cycle time may vary with machines, but should be about 50 minutes.
3. The bread machine should beep once the quick bread or bake cycles have finished. To test the bread for doneness, insert a toothpick into the center top. Remove the toothpick. If the bread is done, the toothpick will come out clean. Remove the pan from the machine, but allow the bread to remain in the pan for 10 minutes. Remove the bread to cool completely on a wire rack (though as i’ve said before, no one ever does this). Eat it, do it.
Mmmmmm~
I love this bread. It’s so very simple. You could always edit the recipe to include walnuts or some other delicious fruit of your choice, it’s entirely up to you. It proved to be an incredibly moist and delicious bread that i’ll most definitely make again.
