Banana Bread

This Banana Bread is Good and Easy
INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup buttermilk or half in half (my preference)
2 eggs
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 ripe bananas
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup white sugar (subsitute honey for some sugar and the bread will be more moist)
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional, not my favorite)

DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x5 inch loaf glass pan. If you use metal the bread will be dryer.

In one glass bowl combine with a masher milk, eggs, oil, vanilla and 2 bananas. Mash until little bitty chunks are left. In seperate large bowl, sift together all the flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add banana mixture to dry ingredients and use a plastic spacula to fold the mixture together. Stir in nuts. Pour batter into a glass pan that was sprayed with oil. Bake in preheated oven for 55 to 60 minutes until golden brown, an a toothpick inserted into center of the loaf comes out clean.
