1teaspoonvanilla
½cupbrown sugar
2cupsall-purpose flour
1 ½ teaspoon cinnamon
1 ½teaspoonbaking powder

Instructions
Mash the bananas; they should yield about 1 cup. Place in a bowl.
Mix in the eggs, melted butter (cooled to room temperature), oil, and vanilla. Set aside.
In another bowl, mix the brown sugar, all-purpose flour, cinnamon, baking powder, and baking soda.
Optional: if using nuts, chocolate, or raisins. Take ½ cup of the dry mixture and mix them together. This helps keep the nuts, raisins, or other fillings from clustering together.
Add the dry mixture and nuts and raisins to the banana mixture. Fold until you don’t see any bits of flour left.
Prepare a 7 x 3-inch loaf pan, line with parchment, and grease generously with butter or oil.
Pour in the banana bread batter and smooth the top before adding garnishes like bananas or nuts.
Bake in a preheated oven at 350 °F (177 °C) for 40 – 45 minutes.
Cool in the pan for an hour before taking it out and placing on a rack to cool further.
