    1 ½ Cups Mashed Overripe Bananas, ⅔ Cups Light Brown Sugar, tightly packed, ⅓ Cup Canola Oil, ¼ Cup Non-Dairy Milk, 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • Scrape the batter into a prepared loaf pan and use a spatula to spread the batter out evenly. Bake the loaf in a 350* F oven for 65-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean. See note!
  • Allow the banana bread to cool completely before slicing and serving.

Notes

Do not use regular ripe bananas for this recipe! They need to be overripe or the loaf will not be sweet enough.
Use a toothpick to test for doneness. The toothpick should either come out clean or with a few moist crumbs attached. If there is batter on the toothpick, the loaf is not ready to be removed from the oven.
Add ½ cup of walnuts or ½ cup of mini chocolate chips to the batter right at the end if you like!
