Banana Bread



Ingredients:

1 and 3/4 cup all purpose baking flour
OR 1 and 1/4 cup all purpose flour + 1/2 cup skinless almond meal/almond powder

2 medium sized riped bananas
2 whole eggs
1/4 cup brown sugar (i used thd soft brown jaggery from indian store)
2 teaspoons baking powder
3 tablespoon salted butter - melted at room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon cinnamon powder

Preparation:
In your dry mixer, add banana pieces and  mix it well in the lowest speed. Add each ingredient (except for the baking flour/almond meal) one at a time and pulse until it looks well mixed. Close the lid super tight.. I had it flying all over the kitchen 😉

Preheat ur oven to 350 degree Farenheit. 

Now move the contents of mixer into a mixing bowl. Using a whisk blend in the flour little at a time.. May be 1/2 cup at a time, whisking along...adding some more.. Whisking along...until it looks really soft and smooth.

Coat a 9x5 inch pan (i used a bread pan), or muffin pan with a thin layer of melted butter or coconut oil. Pour contents of ur mixing bowl.

Bake in middle rack for 60 minutes if using the bread pan. Might take 35-45 minutes for the muffin pan (check in the middle of the cake if cooked by inserting a thin wooden skewer. It should come out clean/dry, not wet/sticky).

Hope u liked ur banana bread!

  1. I love this recipe Manju and has made it numerous times. The only modification I make is with mixing. I mix the dry ingredients and wet ingredients separately and then gently fold the wet ingredients to the dry ones. Overmixing can make the bread hard.
