ingredients
- 1 cup banana, mashed, about 3 mediums
- 3⁄4 cup sugar
- 1 egg
- 1⁄2 cup vegetable oil (I often use olive because that's what I have on hand)
- 1⁄2 teaspoon almond extract
- 1 1⁄2 cups flour
- 1 1⁄2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1⁄4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1⁄8 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
directions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas, sugar, egg, oil and almond extract.
- In a separate medium sized bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon; then slowly mix into the banana batter until everything is thoroughly combined.
- Pour the banana bread mix into a greased loaf pan, or cupcake pan, and bake for 30-45 minutes for cupcakes, or an hour a loaf. (I know my bread is ready when it's golden, not brown, on top, I don't even have to do the toothpick test.).

Needed something to take to a friend who just came home from the hospital and figured this would be perfect. I've made several bananna bread recipes and this one while not my all time favorite (I tend to like sour cream in them) it was very good, moist and tender and for me the cooking time was spot on. I did make 2 changes that I did make, used vanilla and no almond as I didn't have any and I did add a 1/2 cup of chopped pecans just because I like them in my bread. All in all a nice bread that was truly easy to put together. Made for Bargain Basement Game
