This is my favorite Banana Bread recipe…

This recipe is easy but delicious! My favorite part is the top crust.
Instead of a loaf pan, I use a baking pan…that way there’s more of that nice crust to enjoy.  It looks more like a cake but tastes like banana bread.

Banana Bread Recipe:
1 1/2 cup of mashed bananas
3/4 cup of sugar
3/4 cup of vegetable oil
2 eggs
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt (I use only a pinch)
pinch of cinnamon
pinch of nutmeg
2 tsp vanilla

Preheat oven to 325.  Grease pan.  Mix bananas, sugar, oil, and eggs in a large bowl with wooden spoon.  Stir in remaining ingredients.  Pour into pan.
Secret to top crust:  Sprinkle top with sugar.  The more you sprinkle, the crispier and thicker it will be. (Just don’t overdo it)  🙂
Bake until wooden pick inserted in center of bread comes out clean…
If baking in a cake pan: 45-50 min.
If baking in loaf pan: 50-60 min.
Let cool 5-10 min.
Enjoy!  Feel free to serve with whip cream.

Happy Baking,
