Now, doesn't that look good - nice and crispy brown!

Prep time: about 60 minutes

Ingredients:

• 2 eggs
• 1¾ c. sifted flour
• 2 tsp. baking powder
  
• ½ tsp. salt
• 1/3 c. vegetable oil
• 2/3 c. sugar
• 1 c. mashed bananas (about 3 bananas)
• Chocolate sprinkles
  
• 2 tsp. vanilla
  

Utensils:

• oven (you'll need help from your adult assistant)
• measuring cups and spoons
• mixer
• sifter
• spatula
• small bowl
• medium-size bowl
• large bowl
• bread pan coated with nonstick cooking spray

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350° F (180° C).

Beat eggs well in a small bowl. 

 

In a medium-size bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. 

 

 In a large bowl, add the vegetable oil.

 

Add the sugar a little bit at a time, and continue beating until the mixture is fluffy.

Add the eggs to the mixture in the large bowl and beat well.

Add some of the flour mixture to the large bowl and beat well. Then add some of the mashed bananas and beat some more. Continue adding flour, then bananas, then flour, then bananas, until everything is mixed in.

Add vanilla to mixture, then mix everything together.

Pour mixture into the baking pan. After 20 minutes of baking, sprinkle chocolate sprinkles on top of the bread. Bake for another 20 minutes, or until finished.

Let it cool for a bit, and cut it into slices to eat and share!

Suggestion:
If you're nutty for nuts, add chopped walnuts during Step 6.
