My Favorite Banana Bread






[Who doesn't love fresh homemade banana bread for breakfast in the morning?  I know I do!  This is my tried and true recipe for moist, delicious banana bread that I have been using since I was about 10 years old.  I chose to omit nuts from most of my baked goods, but if you like nuts, feel free to add some to your bread]

My Favorite Banana Bread

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 egg whites, slightly beaten
1 cup ripe bananas, mashed
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup oil


Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 8x4x2 loaf pan with non-stick spray and set aside.


In a medium bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and cinnamon.  In a large bowl mix together egg whites, mashed banana, sugar and oil until well combined.  Add flour mixture to banana mixture and stir until incorporated.  Pour into loaf pan. Bake for 45-50 minutes.  Cool and Serve.

This sounds so delicious! I will have to add it to my recipe box.
When I was a kid, there was no better after school snack than banana bread. My mom would put it in the toaster and the put butter on it for us - heaven!
