Ingredients
2cupsall-purpose flour
1teaspoonbaking soda
½teaspoonsalt
½teaspooncinnamon
2cupsmashed pipe bananas, about 4 large bananas
½cupvegetable oil
1cupbrown sugar
2large eggs
1teaspoonvanilla extract
⅓cupbrown sugar, optional for topping
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9x5 baking loaf pan and line with parchment paper (where it hangs over the edges) for easy bread removal. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon until well combined. Set aside.
In large bowl, whisk together bananas, vegetable oil, brown sugar, eggs and vanilla extract. Slowly whisk in the flour mixture, until there are no lumps.
Pour batter into prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Sprinkle the top with brown sugar.
Bake for 50 to 55 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Around the halfway baking point, loosely tent the loaf pan with foil to prevent too much browning on top of the bread.
Allow to cool for 15 minutes before removing from loaf pan. Slice and serve!
