Best Banana Bread

Best Banana Bread

1½ cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
1/3 cup oil
½ cup brown sugar, packed
1 cup mashed banana
(about 2 bananas)
1/3 cup milk

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan with margarine or oil.

In a small bowl, combine fl our, baking powder, baking soda and salt. In a large bowl, combine oil and brown sugar. Add bananas and milk and stir to combine. Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix until just combined.

Spread batter in the loaf pan and bake for 43 to 48 minutes, until bread is golden and a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool in the pan for 30 minutes. Run a knife around the edge to loosen, and turn bread out of the pan to let cool on a cooling rack. Store leftover bread covered at room temperature.
