A New #Outlook on Banana Bread
The first ever recipe for banana bread was published by Pillsbury in 1933, during the Great Depression, as a way to stretch out the weekly groceries. Ingredients 2 cups flour 2 teaspoons baking powder 1 teaspoon baking powder Pinch salt 2 eggs 1 cup sugar 3 very ripe bananas 1 teaspoon vanilla 1/2 cup vegetable oil 1 teaspoon cinnamon Directions Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. In a large bowl, cream together the eggs and sugar. Use a hand mixer to beat the bananas. A couple lumpy bits will make the bread even tastier Stir in the mashed bananas, vanilla, oil and cinnamon. Stir in the flour mixture, a third at a time, until just combined. Pour the batter into a loaf tin. Bake for 45 - 55 mins.
