This banana bread recipe packs in 3 large bananas per loaf! It’s a terrific way to use over-ripe bananas.
Ingredients
- 3 large bananas (well-ripened)
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (or cooking oil of choice)
- 1/3 cup skim milk
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 1/2 cups flour
Directions
- Wash hands with soap and water.
- Preheat the oven to 350 °F.
- Peel the bananas. Put them in a mixing bowl. Mash the bananas with a fork.
- Add the egg, oil, milk, sugar, salt, baking soda, and baking powder. Mix well with the fork.
- Slowly stir the flour into the banana mixture. Stir for 20 seconds until the flour is moistened.
- Lightly grease a 8 x 4-inch to 10 x5-inch bread pan with a little oil or cooking spray. Or, line the pan with wax paper.
- Pour the batter into the bread pan.
- Bake for 45 minutes until a toothpick inserted near the middle comes out clean.
- Let the bread cool for 5 minutes before removing it from the pan.
Notes
The key to good banana bread is to use well-ripened bananas that are covered with brown speckles. Try using half whole wheat flour to add some fiber.
