Banana Bread

This is a time-honored way to use up those aging bananas sitting on your counter. You can bake the batter in a loaf pan or in a muffin pan for lunchbox treats. My Favorite Banana Bread 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder 1/4 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1 large egg 3 pureed bananas 3/4 cup granulated sugar 1/4 cup cooking oil 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Grated zest of one lemon 1/2 cup chopped toasted almonds Vegetable spray the bottom and about one inch up the sides of a loaf pan. In a mixing bowl, put in all the ingredients. Beat on low for about two minutes until everything is well incorporated. Pour batter into prepared pan and bake in a preheated 350-degree oven for approximately 45-55 minutes.
