Ingredients

1/2 Cup Vegetable Oil - 115 milliliters - Use a neutral tasting vegetable oil such as corn or canola
2 Eggs (large)
3 Bananas (ripe & large sized) - 345 grams - Use 1 1/2 cups of mashed bananas to be exact.
2 Cups Flour (all purpose flour) - 240 grams
1 Cup White Granulated Sugar - 200 grams
1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract - 5 milliliters
1 Teaspoon Baking Soda - 5 milliliters
1 Teaspoon Baking Powder (aluminum free) - 5 milliliters
1/2 Teaspoon Salt - 2.5 milliliters

Instructions

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
Mash bananas with a fork.
Lightly beat eggs.
Stir eggs, bananas and vegetable oil together.
Mix in remaining ingredients. Stir until the batter is fully mixed.
Optional - If you want to enhance this "basic" no butter banana bread, you can stir in a cup of your family's favorite dessert ingredient (i.e. chocolate chips or chopped walnuts) after you have mixed the batter.
Pour the finished batter into a nonstick bread pan. Smooth out the top of the batter within the bread pan.
Bake in the oven for 65-70 minutes or until golden brown.
Take out of oven and let the banana bread cool down in the bread pan for 10 minutes. Do not remove the banana bread from the bread pan during this 10 minute cool down period. Use oven mitts as the bread pan will be very hot coming out of the oven.
After 10 minutes, remove the banana bread from the bread pan. Place the banana bread on a cooling rack in order to completely cool. This cool down may take 1-2 hours. Gently slide a silicon spatula between the banana bread and the bread pan walls if the banana bread is stuck in the pan.
