This makes a nice morning bread to serve with coffee.

Ingredients

1/2 cup oil

3 large, ripe persimmons

2 cups flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon cinnamon

3 Tablespoons milk

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine oil and sugar. Add eggs and persimmons and mix well. Add and mix in dry ingredients, milk, and vanilla. Pour into greased and floured loaf pan.
