Easy to Make and The Best Banana Bread Recipe

I love homemade breads. I have no preference to flavor, but there is something almost nostalgic about making your own breads at home. I love the how the scent of sweetness fills the house. I like to make my breads while the kids are in school so they can come home to a yummy smelling home.
My mom used to do this for me and it always made the day better.
Today, I want to share the best banana bread recipe that is super easy to make. To be honest, I cant take all the credit, I actually searched various websites taking parts  of different banana bread recipes from here and there and putting my own spin on things until I found the perfect recipe.
I encourage you to try this very easy to bake banana bread and tweak it if you want to what fits for you.
Sometimes I make it in loaf pans and sometimes I use muffin cups. Muffin cups are great to add to gift baskets for teachers, neighbors, friends or co-workers.
I have also doubled this recipe and it works out just fine.

*Preheat oven to 375 degrees
*Be sure to grease loaf pans or use muffin cup liners

Ingredients

1 & 1/2 Cups All-Purpose Flour

1/2 Cup Sugar

1/2 Cup Brown Sugar

1 Teaspoon Baking Soda

1 Teaspoon Cinnamon

1/2 Teaspoon Salt

3 Medium/Large Very Ripe Bananas

1 Egg

1/3 Cup Vegetable Oil

1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract

 

Directions

In a large bowl combine all dry ingredients.

In a large separate bowl, mash bananas, oil, vanilla an egg.

(I use a hand mixer on low)

Add dry ingredients slowly into wet ingredients until just until moistened

Pour into greased loaf pan or fill muffin cups half full

Bake for 15-22 minutes or until golden brown and  a toothpick inserted near center comes out clean.

Cool for 10 minutes and remove from pan

You can add almost anything you want to this recipe. Feel free to add a half cup of raisins or walnuts for an even better taste and consistency. My favorite thing to add is about a half to whole cup of blueberries. OMG! It was to die for, so moist and tasty.

ENJOY!
