Recipe for Banana Bread

Recipe type: Cakes

Cuisine:   Western

Yields: serves 6 to 8 persons

INGREDIENTS

• 3 ripe bananas mashed
• 1 stick unsalted butter, melted
• 2 eggs
• 1/3 cup of  water 
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 cup of sugar
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp baking powder
• I pinch cinnamon
• 2 cups of whole wheat flour
• ½ cup almond and cashew nut slices

 

DIRECTIONS

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a loaf pan 

Step 2

In a large bowl whisk dry ingredients wheat flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and sugar. In a separate bowl, stir in eggs, mashed banana, melted butter, water, until well blended. Stir banana mixture into flour mixture; stir just to moisten. Pour batter into prepared loaf pan.

Step 3

Pour the batter into a lightly greased (or lined with parchment paper) loaf pan. Bake bread until golden and a knife comes out clean when inserted into the bread, 50 to 60 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes in the pan then transfer to a rack to finish cooling.

Quick Tips:

• Be sure to use very well-ripened spotted bananas; they offer the best flavor and sweetness. Avoid black bananas because they’re usually starting to rot, and they don’t have good taste.
• Don’t pack flour when measuring. Better yet use a kitchen scale if you have one.
• Only use real butter. No shortening, no margarine, no oil.
• Check dates on baking soda and baking powder. If they’re outdated, the loaf may not rise the same.
• Adjust salt if needed. Only have salted butter on hand? Reduce salt to 1/4 tsp, so it’s not overly salty.
• Once you are folding in the flour, be careful not to over-mix, so you get a nice tall loaf. Just fold until there are no longer streaks of flour.
• Careful not to over-bake for a supremely moist loaf.
