Ingredients
  

For the Batter
  • 2 large eggs Provides structure and richness for a moist loaf.

  • ¼ cup milk Contributes to the overall texture, making every bite soft and delightful.
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour Forms the base of the bread, giving it a solid structure.
  • 1 cup sugar Sweetens the bread and encourages a beautiful, golden-brown crust.
  • 2 tsp baking powder Serves as a leavening agent for that perfect rise.
  • ¼ tsp salt Balances the sweetness and enhances the overall flavor of the bread.
For the Mix-ins
  • ⅓ cup white chocolate (roughly chopped) Introduces creamy sweetness that pairs perfectly with bananas.

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a loaf pan by greasing it lightly.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs until frothy, then mix in mashed bananas, vegetable oil, and milk until smooth.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until uniform.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined.
  5. Fold in the chopped white chocolate and maraschino cherries into the batter, ensuring even distribution.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for approximately 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  7. Once baked, cool the loaf in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
