Can I use canola oil or vegetable oil in banana bread?

Baking banana bread with oil gives great results! The key is to use a neutral oil like canola oil or vegetable oil. I don't recommend using olive oil as it will impact the flavor.

How do you tell when banana bread is done baking?

The best way to tell when it is done baking is by inserting a toothpick into the center of the bread and seeing if any batter sticks. If there are just moist crumbs on the toothpick, then the bread is done.

Why does my banana bread keeps sticking to the pan?

First, make sure you’re well greasing the pan. I love to use a cooking spray that is meant for baking that has flour in it - such as Baker’s Joy . Do not allow the loaf to completely cool in the pan. This can lead to sticking. Allow to cool for 10 minutes or so but remove while still warm.

Instructions

Preheat Oven. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour two loaf pans or one bundt pan. Or you can use a baking spray that has flour in it.
Mix Wet Ingredients. In a large bowl, use a rubber spatula or spoon and stir together the mashed bananas, eggs, oil, and vanilla until combined.
Mix Dry Ingredients. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda and salt.
Fold Wet and Dry. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet until combined. Then fold in the mix ins. Divide batter among greased loaf pans.
Bake. Bake in preheated oven for about 50 minutes - 1 hour. Depending on loaf size. Start checking at 45 minutes, but could take up to 70 if you have lots of mix-ins. The bread is done when it is brown on top, doesn't jiggle when the pan is shaken, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean with just a few moist crumbs.
Allow to cool in pan for 10-15 minutes. Remove from pan while still warm and allow to cool. Serve slices with a good smear of salted butter and enjoy!

Notes

Sugar - If you prefer a less sweet bread, you can reduce the sugar to 1.5 cups.

Bananas - you want them very ripe! I like mine to be brown/black on the outside and nice and soft on the inside. They should be very easy to mash. The riper, the sweeter!

Mix-Ins - 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips, 1 cup unsweetened coconut flakes, or 1 cup chopped nuts. Pick 2! My preference is 1 cup of semisweet chocolate chips and 1 cup of unsweetened coconut flakes.
