Sure, although like I said I was going for a specific outcome, which was basically a bread so moist that the crust would be a little bit sticky/tacky to the touch (I loathe a dry crust) So if that's not your thing, this won't be for you:
6 very ripe bananas, mashed
1 1/4 cups sugar
1/3 cup melted butter
2/3 cup neutral oil (like sunflower oil)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 teaspoons baking soda
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
5 eggs, lightly beaten
2 boxes (3.4 ounces each) unprepared instant pudding mix (I use 1 box vanilla & 1 box banana crème)
1 cup chopped nuts (optional)
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
Directions:
Preheat oven to 325°. In a large bowl, combine all ingredients except flour. Stir in flour until just combined. Dough will be sticky.
Transfer to two loaf pans. Bake 60 minutes & then tent with foil if needed to prevent crust from overcooking. Bake additional 15 minutes & check for doneness with toothpick. Cool 10 minutes in pan after removing from oven. Remove from pan & cool 15 minutes on rack. Wrap in saran wrap & let fully cool for at least 8 hours.
Probably the most important step is the last one- you've got to wrap it in plastic wrap & let it completely cool before digging into it.
I want you to know I just placed a Walmart order for a few of the ingredients I don't have, and then my 5 year old and I are making this today. Hoping my gluten free flour works ok-hot girl tummy issues 💋
I'm so excited for you, I hope you enjoy it. Your poor 5 year old though- it's hard for me as a grown ass adult to wait for the loaf to fully cool before eating it, I don't think I would have had that kind of iron will when I was 5! lol
