Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 over-ripe bananas peeled
  • 2/3 cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon molasses
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 cups white whole wheat flour or all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Method
 

  1. Mash the bananas together with the sugar, molasses, and olive oil by hand with a whisk.
  2. When the mixture resembles a puree (lumps are okay) add the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and cinnamon. Mix together until the mixture is smooth but do not overmix.
  3. Pour the banana bread batter into an oiled ceramic loaf pan. Top with a little sugar. Bake for one hour at 350 degrees. During the last 5 minutes of baking increase the temperature to 385 degrees. The loaf is done when the top is firm to the touch and a skewer comes out clean.
  4. Allow the loaf to cool for 10 minutes and then turn out onto a baking rack to cool. When the loaf is cool you can slice it and serve it warm or refrigerate for later use.
