Best Banana Bread - Moist and Easy

Hello again and welcome 

Today it was raining and windy out - I wanted to do some work in the garden but it was just too cold so .....there they were - 3 sad bananas - not destined to last for hubby's lunch on Monday so here they are.......  Banana Bread 

This is so easy to make - just needs two bowls - mix with wooden spoon -pour -bake.

Recipe - Makes 2 loaves in 5 x 9 loaf pan - 325 F for about 1 hour + 15 minutes

Mix in medium bowl:

3 cups flour

2 tsp baking powder

2 tsp baking soda 

1 tsp salt

Mix in another Large bowl in this order:

1/2 cup oil (canola or other neutral flavoured)

1 1/2 cup sugar

4  beaten eggs

1 cup sour creme or yogurt or buttermilk (or any combination of these)

2 cup mashed bananas

Pour flour mix into wet mix and sitr together - do not over mix

Pour into greased loaf pans and bake  for 1 hour +15-20 minutes at 325  F

Let stand 10 minutes in pan on rack before removing - Enjoy!

Tip:  if you don't have any sour cream, yogurt or buttermilk - substitute any milk by adding 1 teaspoon of lemon juice or vinegar to it and let stand 10 minutes. 

Tip: I only had 3 bananas (1 cup)   so I used 1 cup of chopped up fresh strawberries instead to make 2 cups..

I also added 1 cup of frozen local blueberries at the last minute.  So I had a total of 3  cups of fruit.  You could also add some nuts - walnuts would be excellent.

Tip:  You often read about taking a toothpick and inserting it  in the middle of your cake to test for done-ness.  This is fine - but a done cake will pull away from the edge of the pan slightly and if you just touch the top middle with you 3 middle fingers - if it is firm - it is done.  Try testing with your hand and then check with your pick and you will soon be confident without the toothpick.

Here's the end  product

Cheers for now !
