Banana Bread

On By MeghaIn Food

I am a big Banana fan and so is Pari. I love including the fruits of the season in my cooking and baking adventures. Rainy season with bananas galore calls for a moist, delightful banana bread. The following recipe has won many hearts and I declare it to be the moistest and the lightest banana bread I’ve ever eaten.

Banana Bread

Servings: 6

Difficulty Level: Easy

Ingredients:

  • All Purpose Flour (Maida) – 175 gm
  • Bananas (mashed) – 4
  • Baking Powder – 2 tsp
  • Baking Soda – 1/2 tsp
  • Caster Sugar – 150 gm
  • Butter – 125 gm
  • Eggs – 2
  • Vanilla extract – 1/2 tsp
  • Walnuts (chopped) – 50 gm

Method:

  • Pre-heat oven at 170 degrees centigrade.
  • Grease and dust flour in a loaf tin (you can even use a square cake tin, like me) and set aside.
  • Sift flour, baking soda and baking powder and set aside.
  • In another bowl put castor sugar and butter. Whisk until light and fluffy. It takes around 3-4 minutes with an electric mixer.
  • Add one egg at a time and whisk well.
  • Add half the flour, mashed bananas and vanilla essence and mix well.
  • Add the remaining flour, chopped walnuts and beat till a batter of uniform consistency is formed.
  • Pour the mixture in the loaf tin and gently tap the tin on the working bench to remove air bubbles.
  • Bake for around 30 minutes or till tester comes out clean.

Serving Suggestion:  Dust the bread with icing sugar just before serving.

Tip: Make use of the over-ripe bananas at home, it makes the bread moister and sweeter.

  10. I have never had banana bread, and would love to try making some at home. This sounds like a simple recipe. Bookmarking this post.. will try this one out soon, for sure. Thanks a ton, ME! The best thing about this recipe for me is that it does not use yeast – that is my biggest nightmare while baking, due to which I am not able to try out half of the wonderful recipes that are available to me. 😦
