Spray a 9x5-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.

Place the mashed bananas, canola oil, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract in a large mixing bowl. Whisk vigorously until smooth and combined.

Add the flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to the bowl. Continue whisking until the mixture is just combined. Do not over-mix.

Check to see that bread is done. Remove from oven or add time as needed.

Allow the bread to rest in the pan for 10 minutes, then release from the pan onto a cooling rack. Allow to cool for at least 1 hour before slicing and serving.

Tips & Tricks (5)

  • Banana Ripeness Matters 🍌
    Use overripe bananas with black spots for maximum sweetness and moisture in your banana bread. The darker and softer the bananas, the more intense the flavor will be.
  • Chocolate Chip Distribution Technique 🍫
    Toss chocolate chips in a little flour before adding to the batter to prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the bread during baking.
  • Oil Temperature Trick 🌡️
    Use room temperature canola oil for more even mixing and a smoother batter consistency. Cold oil can create lumps and uneven texture in your banana bread.
  • Moisture Preservation Hack 💧
    Wrap the cooled banana bread in plastic wrap immediately after it reaches room temperature to lock in moisture and prevent it from drying out.
  • Cinnamon Enhancement Secret 🌿
    Toast the ground cinnamon in a dry pan for 30 seconds before adding to the batter to intensify its flavor and bring out deeper, more complex notes.
