Easy Banana Bread

Easy Banana Bread

Bananas are my favourite only when they are not too ripe. We usually stock about twenty bananas in our fruit basket every week, but when they become over riped, especially on hot summer days, I will use them for my banana bread. This is an easy banana bread recipe that I love after trying many others.

Dry Ingredients:-

1-3/4 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

3/4 cup granulated sugar

Wet Ingredients:-

2 large eggs (lightly beaten)

1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted)

3 large over riped bananas

1 teaspoon pure vanilla essence

Method:

Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees F. Line a 9" loaf pan with parchment paper and set aside.

Dry ingredients:-

Sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt into a large bowl. Add sugar and whisk to mix and set aside. 

Wet ingredients:-

Melt butter in the microwave oven and set aside. In another bowl, mash bananas with a fork. Add lightly beaten eggs, vanilla essence and melted butter to mashed bananas and whisk to combine.

Then pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients all at once. Mix the two using a spatula until just combine. Do not over mixed. Pour into prepared loaf pan and bake for 45 minutes. Test to see if it is cooked by inserting a toothpick or tester if it comes out clean. If not, continue to bake for another five minutes. Remove from oven and let stand for 15 minutes. Then remove from loaf pan and place bread to cool on a wire rack. Transfer to serving plate, slice and serve when warm to touch.

Note: Bread can be frozen in freezer when cooled completely for up to one week. Defrost in the fridge before bringing it out at room temperature to prevent condensation. Enjoy! Just don't go bananas :)))
