The Banana Bread all sliced up.

I’ve always been a huge fan of any thing Banana baked. The usual banana bread became so boring to I needed to switch up the taste and add other ingredients. I’m this case, I added Rum chocolate. I’m thinking of doing something with Cinnamon apple soon.

It wasn’t hard to make at all, no off the top technique was required. A first time Baker can pull of this taste treat.

There’s no butter in the recipe, the Banana and oil acts as the butter. The egg is the binder of all the ingredients.

I used a food processor (because I’m lazy) to blend the wet ingredients. They need to be well blended it mixed rather before folding with the dry ingredients.

Ingredients

Dry

• 2 cups of All purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons of Baking Powder

4. In a large bowl, combine your wet ingredients (eggs, milk, oil, vanilla, and mashed bananas)

5. Pour the dry ingredients into the bowl with the wet ingredients and fold with a spatula just until combined. Do not over mix as this can make the banana bread tough.
