Ingredients

1 ½ cups mashed bananas 3-4 large bananas
¾ cup brown sugar
½ cup oil
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 teaspoon cinnamon
2 cups Bisquick mix Heart Smart or Original Bisquick
½ cup mini chocolate chips or nuts optional

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Prepare a 9 x 5 loaf pan with parchment paper or nonstick cooking spray.
Mash the bananas in a large bowl. Add the brown sugar, oil, eggs, vanilla, and cinnamon. Stir until well combined.
Add the Bisquick a cup at a time, stirring after each addition. Stir until just combined, do not overmix. Optional, stir in ½ cup mini chocolate chips or nuts.
Pour the banana bread batter into the prepared loaf pan. If using chocolate chips, sprinkle a few over the top of the batter.
Bake for 55-65 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 200 degrees or a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
Place the pan on a wire baking rack to cool for 10-15 minutes. Remove the bread from the pan and let it cool on the rack the rest of the way.

Notes

Measure Bisquick mix the same way you measure flour -- spoon it into a measuring cup and level off the top. Don't scoop straight out of the bag of pancake mix.
Be careful not to overmix the batter to keep the bread from becoming dense.
Banana bread is done when the internal temperature reaches 200 degrees on an instant read thermometer or a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
