Ingredients
Scale
- 3 medium extra ripe bananas (mashed, about 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 cups)
- 1 cup 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
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 9×5 loaf pan by spraying it with nonstick spray and lining the bottom and two sides with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, mash the bananas with a fork until mostly smooth.
- Stir in the sugar, then add the eggs, canola oil, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
- In another bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually mix this dry mixture into the wet ingredients until just combined; do not overmix.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for about 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the bread to cool completely in the pan before transferring it to a wire rack.
