This banana bread comes out so moist and delicious that you can't help but serve yourself a second helping. The only thing I would do differently is add more cinnamon next time. It's hard to go wrong with extra cinnamon! ;)

2 cups of all purpose flour
2 tsp, baking soda

1 tsp. baking powder

1/2 tsp. vanilla extract

1/2 tsp. cinnamon

2. Combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside.

3. In a large bowl, beat together the oil, butter, and sugar for a few seconds. Mixture will be a pale color, not fluffy.

4. Beat in the eggs one at a time. Add vanilla extract and buttermilk.
