Banana Bread

I have been looking into baking my own bread lately. The easiest and most delicious should be banana bread. In this recipe I used vegetable oil instead of butter. Also, it is my 6 month anniversary of using Rapadura whole cane sugar, replacing normal white sugar. Rapadura is dry sugar cane juice and is unrefined, so it is a more natural sugar than organic refined sugar. Even though the conversion of 1 cup of Rapadura = 1 cup of normal sugar. I cut back the Rapadura in the recipe because I think it is pretty sweet just from the banana itself.



Ingredients

* 2 cups organic whole wheat flour
* 1 teaspoon baking soda
* 1 teaspoon baking powder
* 1 teaspoon salt
* 2 fresh farm eggs
* 1/2 cup Rapadura whole cane sugar
* 4 very ripe bananas
* 1 teaspoon vanilla
* 1/2 cup vegetable oil
* 1 teaspoon cinnamon

Directions
1) Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a medium bowl combine flour, baking soda and powder, salt. In a large bowl cream together eggs and sugar. Stir in mashed bananas, vanilla, oil and cinnamon. Stir in flour mixture, a third at a time, until just combined. Divide batter into two 9x5 loaf pans. Bake for about 30 minutes.
