When it comes to ingredients, feel free to play around a bit. If you need a gluten-free option, you could swap in a gluten-free flour blend. For those watching their sugar intake, Splenda works wonders, but brown sugar gives a richer flavor. Make sure your bananas are nicely ripe for that sweet, moist bread; if you’re allergic to any specific spices, simply omit them or substitute with what you enjoy.

Banana Bread yet Another Recipe by Bill….its Diff
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups flour
- 3/4 cup brown sugar (I use splenda)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 cup canola oil
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup orange juice
- 2 large bananas
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 dash cayenne pepper
- 2 teaspoons orange zest
Instructions
- In a medium-sized bowl, mix together 1 1/2 cups flour, 3/4 cup brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 2 teaspoons baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon baking soda until well combined.
- In another bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup canola oil, 2 eggs, 1/4 cup orange juice, and the mashed flesh of 2 large bananas.
- Add 1/2 teaspoon vanilla, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg, a dash of cayenne pepper, and 2 teaspoons orange zest to the wet mixture, stirring well.
- Gradually combine the dry ingredients with the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix; lumpy is good here.
- Pour the batter into a greased bread pan, smoothing the top with a spatula if needed.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 350 degrees for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow it to cool in the pan for a bit before transferring to a wire rack.
