Ingredients
3 ripe bananas, mashed
1/2 cup (120 ml) vegetable oil
3/4 cup (150 g) granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups (190 g) all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas, vegetable oil, granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix well until smooth.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the loaf from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
Transfer the loaf to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
