Banana Bread

Ingredients
- 2 Very ripe medium size bananas (this is the key, if banana's are ripe you don't need much additional sugar and it enhance the banana flavor in the bread)
- 1 Egg
- 5 tbsp Canola or Vegetable Oil or Melted Butter
- 3/4 Cup Milk
- 1 tsp Vanilla
- 1-1/2 Cup All purpose flour
- 1/2 Cup Sugar (If Banana's are not so sweet then adjust the sugar accordingly upto 1 cup). I usually prefer 1/2 a cup sugar with some chocolate chips.
- 1 tsp Baking Soda
- 2-3 tbsp Semi Dark Chocolate Chips (Optional)
- 2-3 Chopped Walnuts (Optional)
Directions
- In a bowl mash the bananas with the fork.
- Add all the liquid ingredients now - Oil/butter, vanilla extract, milk, egg
- Add sugar and mix it well
- In the same bowl add flour, baking soda and gently mix it. Don't overdo it otherwise Bread will come out as too firm
- Add some walnuts and chocolate chips in the batter
- Put the batter in the greased dusted pan ready for baking
- On top garnish the bread with some chopped walnuts and chocolate chips before baking
- Bake it in the pre heated oven at 350 Degrees F for 50-55 mins
Banana bread will be too moist and enriched with banana flavor, enjoy it with a cup of coffee or with some whipped cream or a slice of it in the kids lunch box.
