Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1⅓ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • Pinch of salt
  • 3 ripe bananas, mashed
  • ⅓ cup canola oil
  • 1 cup white granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Method
 

  1. Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and line a 9x5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper for easy removal.

  2. Mix the Dry Ingredients

    In a medium bowl, whisk together:
    Flour
    Baking soda
    Salt
    Set aside.

  3. Combine the Wet Ingredients

    In a large bowl, whisk together the mashed bananas, canola oil, and sugar until well combined.
    Add the eggs and vanilla extract, then whisk until smooth.

  4. Combine Everything

    Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients.
    Using a spatula or wooden spoon, gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the bread dense.

  5. Bake

    Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
    Bake for 45–50 minutes, or until a toothpick or skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.

  6. Cool

    Allow the banana bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
