Adapted from Simply Recipes (http://www.elise.com/recipes/archives/001465banana_bread.php)
This bread is magnificent with butter, but I suppose one could substitute fancy nut oils if absolutely necessary.
Ingredients
* 3 ripe bananas, smashed (I like to freeze them and then warm them up in warm water--this makes them get all melty-like)
* 1/3 c melted butter
* 1/2 c sugar
* 1 egg, beaten (fork is fine--no need for a mixer)
* 1 teaspoon vanilla
* 1.5 t baking powder
* 1/4 t salt
* 1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour
* 1 t cinnamon
* 1/4 t cloves
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). With a wooden spoon or spatula, mix butter into the mashed bananas in a large mixing bowl. Mix in the sugar, egg, and vanilla. Mix in dry ingredients. Pour mixture into a buttered (MORE BUTTER) 4x8 inch loaf pan. Bake for 45 min until a chopstick inserted into the middle comes out clean.* Cool on a rack. Remove from pan and slice to serve.
*A toothpick will do if you have no Asian flair

Wow - bananas! first the muffins, then the bread. Maybe I can come up with another Almond Oil Take.
Tonight I'm making leek pie with hummus, tomato, and, instead of the bread crust, phyllo dough crust. Brushed with, you guessed it, almond oil.
Love,
Mom
Mmmmm. .... banana bread .... I wish you were my room mate :) Annahita used to make bannana bread, but she used oil and couldn't add cinnamon or nuts, because one roommate didn't like cinnamon (!) and one didn't like nuts. It was good nonetheless, but I used to eat it with a healthy slathering of cream cheese and almond butter to bump up the flavor :). Your recipe is definitely off the hook.
Love,
Jody
