- 1 3/4 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tsp Baking soda
- 1/4 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract

Preheat the Oven and Prepare Pan:Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a 9x5 inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
Mix Wet Ingredients:In a large mixing bowl, mash the bananas until smooth. Add the vegetable oil, sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk together until well combined.
Combine Dry Ingredients:In a separate bowl, mix the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined.
Add Optional Ingredients:If desired, fold in chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or dried fruit.
Bake the Bread:Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool and Serve:Let the banana bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
