What is a good banana bread recipe?

Ingredients:

- 1 cup all-purpose flour

- 1 teaspoon baking powder

- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

- 1/2 teaspoon salt

- 3/4 cup granulated sugar

- 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar

- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened

- 1 egg, at room temperature

- 1/4 cup vegetable oil

- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

- 3 ripe bananas, mashed

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray or butter.

2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

3. In a large bowl, cream the butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the brown sugar and mix well. Beat in the egg one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract and vegetable oil.

4. Add the mashed bananas to the wet ingredients and mix until well combined. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.

5. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake in the preheated oven for 55 to 65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

6. Let the banana bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

7. Slice and enjoy! This banana bread is best when consumed within 2-3 days.

Tips:

- For a richer flavor, use dark brown sugar instead of light brown sugar.

- Add some chopped nuts, chocolate chips, or dried fruit to the batter for extra texture and flavor.

- If you don't have ripe bananas, you can ripen them quickly by placing them in a paper bag with an apple or pear for a few hours.

- To make a gluten-free version of this banana bread, use a gluten-free flour blend instead of all-purpose flour.
