Description

This banana bread takes us back to basics with a simple recipe but extraordinary flavors and an extremely moist texture.

Ingredients

  • 2-½ cups Bread Flour
  • 1-¼ cup Sugar
  • 2 packages (3.4 Oz. Size) Instant Vanilla Pudding Mix
  • 1-¼ teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 2 teaspoons Ground Cinnamon
  • 5 whole Eggs, Lightly Beaten
  • 6 whole Medium Bananas, Mashed
  • 1 cup Grapeseed Oil
  • 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350ºF. Grease 2 loaf pans and set aside.

In a large bowl, whisk the flour, sugar, vanilla pudding mix, baking soda, salt and cinnamon until combined.

In a second large bowl, combine the eggs, bananas, oil and vanilla and mix until combined. Add the wet ingredients in to the dry and stir well. Stir into dry ingredients just until moistened.

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pans and bake for 55-65 minutes. The tops of the loaves will be golden brown and the center of the loafs will be set. Cool on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes before slicing.

Notes:
If you don’t have grapeseed oil, you can substitute canola oil.
This recipe needs little adjustments (I promise) but if you like, you can stir in chocolate chips or a handful of nuts before adding the batter to the pans.

Recipe slightly adapted from Taste of Home.
