Let’s begin the New Year with something really simple. Here’s my recipe for easy banana bread. One loaf was definitely not enough; this was gone way too soon ☺

Ingredients:

• 3 ripe bananas, mashed
• 2 cups flour
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 tsp baking powder
• ½ cup vegetable oil
• ½ cup chopped nuts (optional)
• ½ tsp salt

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F
2. In a large bowl, sift together flour, baking powder and salt.
3. Add sugar, vegetable oil then stir in the eggs one at a time, beating well with each addition.
4. Lastly stir in the mashed bananas and nuts and mix well.
5. Transfer mixture to a lightly greased 9x5 inch loaf pan.
6. Bake in preheated oven for 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into center of the loaf comes out clean.

Note: as an option, you may also add raisins
