Best Ever Banana Bread

This bread comes out very moist and delicious. I have been making this bread for 30 years. I usually make it as a gift for birthdays. It is the one thing I do well and every bit begs to be eaten.

Ingredients:

3/4 cup sugar
1 cup mashed bananas
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1 3/4 cup flour
1/2 cup oil, any kind
2 eggs

Topping for bread:

Mix 1 tsp. molasses with 1 cup sugar

Directions:

Blend dry ingredients in one bowl.

In another bowl blend sugar, oil, eggs, add mashed bananas. Then fold gently-into flour mixture.

Grease loaf pan before putting the batter in it. Sprinkle topping on and put in the oven. Crushed pecans make it good, too.

Bake at 325 degrees F for 1 hour.

Enjoy.

Servings: makes 1 loaf of bread

Prep Time: 20 Minutes

Cooking Time: 1 Hour

Hi - this sure sounds great and I will be trying it soon. I always wonder what type of flour people are using in a recipe. Especially when they are adding baking soda and baking powder? I mostly use self rising flower but it does not always do well when adding the baking soda and baking powder.
