Time 2h10m

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 medium, ripe bananas - smashed or 2 cups worth
2/3 c vegetable oil
1 c each - brown sugar and granulated sugar
4 eggs
1 - 3.5 instant banana cream pudding mix
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp each - salt and baking soda
2 c flour
1/2 c chopped pecans or walnuts - optional
Cinnamon sugar, and pecans for topping - optional

Steps:

1. Preheat oven to 325 degree F. Spray pan or pans with nonstick cooking spray, such as Bakers Secret. I used 2 mini pans and a smaller oval casserole dish. In a large bowl, whisk together the bananas, oil, eggs, sugars and pudding mix, until well blended. To this mix in the flour, soda, salt, cinnamon and nuts if using.
2. Bake for 45 - 60 minutes or until a pick inserted into center comes out clean. Depends on what size of pans you use as well.
3. My mini breads took 50 minutes. 1 hour and 15 minutes for the larger.
