Run out of butter? No worries! Make this super moist Banana Bread With Oil! Using oil in banana bread guarantees a perfectly moist yet fluffy texture that will make you reach for slice after slice.Combined with simple pantry staple ingredients you can make this moist banana bread in just about an hour!
Preheat the oven to 325 F and generously grease a loaf pan with baking spray. You can make this recipe by hand or by using a hand or stand mixer on medium speed.
In a large bowl mash the bananas. It's ok if there are little lumps. Add the 2 eggs, 1/2 cup vegetable oil, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and stir to combine. Add the ¾ cup white sugar and mix to combine.
In another bowl or over a large piece of parchment paper combine the 1 ½ cups of flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 tsp baking soda and 1/2 tsp salt. Add the mixture to the bowl and mix lightly until combined.
Pour the batter into the pan and bake for 55-65 minutes. The bread is done when the edges start to pull away from the sides and the top feels firm when touched.
Allow to rest at least 10 minutes then invert onto a wire rack to cool.
Notes
If adding in toppings, toss them in1 tsp of flour first before adding to the batter. This will help keep it from sinking to the bottom.
STORAGE AND FREEZING
Storing: After the banana bread cools, wrap it tightly in plastic or foil. Store in an airtight container or sealable bag at room temperature for up to three days. For longer storage, store it in the fridge for up to one week. Freezing: Separate slices with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Store in a freezer bag or container, removing as much air as possible, and label with the date. Frozen banana bread stays good for up to three months. To eat, thaw at room temperature before serving.
