Banana Bread

After yesterday's article about homemade baked goods, I wanted to share my banana bread recipe. It makes 10 servings.  I eat a piece of this right before I head out for my run.  This provides enough fuel to keep me going for 60-90 minutes. Enjoy!!!

Ingredients:

½ cup of canola oil

½ cup of sugar

2 eggs

2 cups of whole wheat flour

½ teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon cinnamon

3 ripe bananas (mashed)

1. Preheat Oven to 350F or 180C.
2. Mix the oil and sugar together in a large mixing bowl.
3. Next I beat the eggs in a separate bowl and then add to the mixture and stir.
4. Next, I add the flour, baking powder and cinnamon and mix.
5. To mash the bananas, I add to a separate bowl.  I use my potato masher, but you can also use a spoon.  After mashing, add the bananas to the mix.
6. I place the mixture into a greased loaf pan (I use PAM).
7. Bake for 50 minutes.
8. After 50 minutes, I take it out and slice into 10 pieces.
9. Next, place in the oven for 5 more minutes
10. After they have cooled down, I wrap each individually in foil and freeze.
11. To cook.  Place in the microwave for about 45 – 60 seconds or for a morning run, place in the fridge overnight.
