Moist and Delicious Banana Bread

Description: This is the best banana bread I have ever had. I buy really ripe bananas just so I can make this :-) Got the recipe years ago from my friend Rachel. We used to beg her to make this for us in college! I think the moistness is due to the 1/2 cup of oil - I didn't say it was the healthiest banana bread around, but it is worth the extra time on the treadmill!

Ingredients:

• 3 ripe bananas, mashed
• 2 eggs
• 1 3/4 cups flour
• 1 1/2 cups sugar
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil
• 1/4 cup milk
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1/4-1/2 cup walnuts (optional)

Steps:

1. Combine the oil, eggs, sugar, milk, vanilla, and mashed bananas.
2. Add the baking soda and flour.
3. Combine well for 2-3 minutes.
4. Add walnuts and lightly stir to combine if using them.
5. Pour into a greased loaf pan and bake in a preheated 325 degree F oven for 1 hour and 20 minutes.
