Ingredients

• 2 cups ripe banana puree, about 3 large bananas
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup light brown sugar, firmly packed
• 3 eggs
• 1 tsp. vanilla extract
• 2 cups flour
• 1 tsp. baking soda
• 1/2 tsp. baking powder
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1 1/4 cup chopped almonds, toasted

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour two 7 3/4 × 2 1/4-inch loaf pans. Set aside. Beat first 6 ingredients together. Combine next 4 ingredients and stir into banana mixture. Reserving 2 Tbsp. of the almonds for topping, stir remaining almonds into batter.
2. Divide batter evenly between to loaf pans, sprinkle each loaf with 1 Tbsp. almonds. Bake about 50 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. (If browning too quickly, cover top loosely with foil.) Cool in pans 10 minutes; turn out on wire rack and cool thoroughly.
