BANANA BREAD

Steps:

• In a medium-size bowl, mix together the oil, sugar, eggs, vanilla and mashed bananas in a bowl. Set aside.
• In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder, and cinnamon.
• Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix just until combined. Do not overmix.
• Grease and flour two 9x5 loaf pans. Divide the batter between the two pans.
• Bake at 325 degrees for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the loaf comes out clean.
• Sprinkle the top with nuts, if desired.

THE BEST BANANA BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly butter one 9-by-5-inch loaf pan.
• Whisk together the flour, pecans, granulated sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon salt and nutmeg in a large bowl. Whisk together the eggs, melted butter, buttermilk, brown sugar and vanilla in a medium bowl; stir in the mashed bananas. Fold the banana mixture into the flour mixture until just combined (it's OK if there are some lumps).
• Pour the batter into the buttered pan and lightly tap the pan on the counter to evenly distribute the batter. Bake until browned and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out completely clean, about 1 hour. Let the bread cool for 10 minutes in the pan, then turn out onto a rack to cool completely.
