2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda

3 medium or 2 large very ripe bananas, mashed
cup of vegetable oil (I use Becel)
2 large eggs at room temperature
3 squares of white baking chocolate, chopped

4
MASH bananas
5
ADD sugar to bananas and stir with wooden spoon until well combined

8
FOLD in baking chocolate and pecans
9
DIVIDE batter between 4 loaf tins or one large loaf pan
10
RAP tins gently on counter to remove any air bubbles
11
