Quick Banana Bread
Breakfast? Dessert? Banana bread is always very popular! I tried Bob the chef’s recipe and it was a pleasant surprise because of the simplicity of it!
If you open my freezer, you’ll notice that I have many frozen black bananas. I use them for banana breads and also to replace eggs in dessert recipes. In a gesture of reducing food waste, I freeze bananas that have matured too long. I could use them immediately in the recipes, but if I run out of time, I freeze them for later.

Preparation
Preheat the oven to 350 ° F.
In a bowl, mash bananas with oil, sugar and vanilla.
Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and optional ingredients and mix with a wooden spoon until a homogeneous mixture is obtained (don’t be surprised that the mixture is thicker than a cake mix).
Pour into a lightly oiled bread pan and cook about 50 minutes / an hour (check the cooking with a toothpick, if it comes out clean, the bread is cooked).
Let cool, unmold, slice and serve.
