How to Make Velvet Banana Bread
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Mix the batter by combining mashed overripe bananas, granulated sugar, vegetable oil, water, and eggs in a large mixing bowl.
  3. Combine the dry ingredients by whisking together the King Arthur flour, baking soda, salt, and baking powder in a separate bowl.
  4. Fold the dry ingredients gently into the wet banana mixture until just combined.
  5. Grease the bottom of a 9x5 loaf pan using a little oil or cooking spray.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
  7. Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Cool in the pan for 15 minutes before transferring the bread to a wire rack.
