How to Make Very Best Banana Loaf
- Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C).
- Spray two 9x5 inch loaf pans with non-stick cooking spray.
- Puree 3 ripe bananas in a food processor until smooth. Transfer to a separate bowl.
- In the same food processor bowl, combine 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar, ½ cup (120ml) vegetable oil, 2 large eggs, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Blend until well combined (about 1 minute).
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg, ¼ teaspoon ground cloves, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- Add the banana puree to the food processor bowl with the wet ingredients.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the food processor, slowly pouring in ½ cup (120ml) Coca-Cola while blending until just combined (about 1 minute). Do not overmix.
- Stir in ½ cup (60g) chopped walnuts or pecans by hand.
- Divide the batter evenly between the prepared loaf pans.
- Place loaf pans on a baking sheet for stability.
- Bake for 95 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let cool in the pans for 10-15 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely.
