Banana Bread

This is my friend Jill's recipe.  You can visit her blog at http://jbeanrecipes.blogspot.com/.  I will note that you HAVE to use the little foil pans for the best results with this banana bread.  I have tried it in large loaf pans, and it really just doesn't work.  I bought 5 foil loaf pans at my local grocery store for $1.25.  They are supposed to be disposable, but if you are careful, you can use them quite a few times. 

Banana Bread
2/3 c. oil
3/4 c. brown sugar
3/4 c. white sugar
3 ripe bananas, mashed
3 eggs
1/2 c. cold milk
1 tsp vanilla


1 3/4 c. flour
scant 1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. soda
1/2 tsp baking powder

Mix oil and sugars together, then add bananas, eggs, milk, and vanilla.  Add in the dry ingredients: flour, salt, soda, and baking powder.

Grease and flour pans well.  Pour batter into 5 mini loaf pans.  Bake at 350 for 40 minutes.  (Watch closely, my convection oven takes about 10 minutes less).

Tips:
Mini chocolate chips and/or nuts can be added.  Stir in with a spoon after all other ingredients have been mixed together. If you don't use mini chocolate chips the chips will all sink to the bottom. I've even tried just sprinkling them on the top and not mixing them in, but they still sink.
