Banana Bread

    Ingredients

  • 3 very ripe bananas
  • ⅓ cup (0.8 dl) neutral-flavored oil
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • A pinch of salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract or vanilla sugar
  • ½ cup (1.2 dl) sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1½ cups (3.5 dl) flour

    method

  1. Mash the ripe bananas and mix well with the oil, baking soda, salt, vanilla, sugar, and egg.
  2. Mix in the flour and pour the batter into a loaf pan lined with parchment paper.
  3. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 45–50 minutes. Remove the bread from the loaf pan and bake for another 15 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  4. Let the banana bread cool completely before slicing. Serve with butter.

Add-ins & Variations

Chocolate Caramel Version

Sometimes I add chocolate chips and/or chopped dates to give it a more cake like texture and flavor.

Spiced Banana Bread (Icelandic-Style Kryddbrauð)

Skip the vanilla extract and instead add:

2 tsp cinnamon

1½ tsp ground cloves

1½ tsp ground ginger

Banana Muffins or Donuts

Gently fold in ½ cup (1.2 dl) Nutella or another chocolate spread. Divide the batter into muffin liners or a silicone donut pan.
