The weather is getting hotter day by day. Bananas are available but do not stay fresh for long in this hot weather. So what better use of bananas can be other than banana bread? Flavored with cinnamon this bread is soft and yummy. It is a fulfilling as breakfast and tempting as a snack. And it is the best use of those over ripe, yet not spoiled, bananas which get wasted because no one wants to eat them.
Recipe:
Ingredients:
1/2 cup oil
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 1/2 cup flour
1 1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp bakingsoda
1/2 cup milk
1 cup mashed bananas (2-3 bananas)
1/2 cup assorted nuts (optional)
Preheat oven to 180 C.
Mix oil and sugar. Add flour, eggs, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg. Stir to combine. In another bowl, mix baking soda in milk and stir thoroughly. Add milk to flour mixture and beat well. Stir in bananas and assorted nuts (if using).
Bake for 50 min or until a skewer inserted comes out clean. If the top starts to brown before the bread is done, cover with foil and continue to bake. Serve warm or at room temperature. Slices of banana bread can be buttered before serving.
Happy Baking!!!
I have baked banana cake before but I don't used nutmeg and assorted nuts before. That should probably do it. I bet my banana cake would taste even better.
ReplyDeleteI didn't use nuts in mine, but nutmeg did really complement the cinnamon. Do try it.

ReplyDeleteI've made several banana bread recipes here and I always come back to this one, it is a wonderful standard recipe that you can build upon and customize to your liking.
ReplyDeleteThis turned out amazing well. Like others, I added vanilla extract, cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg and 1/2 cup of walnuts. It was so moist and flavorful! I'd definitely make this again.
ReplyDeleteI don't used nutmeg and assorted nuts before. That should probably do it. I bet my banana cake would taste even better, thanx for the post.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this recipe. I've made it probably 6 times in the past two months. Very moist. The only thing I do different is leave it in the oven for 35 minutes due to my oven.

ReplyDeleteExcellent recipe!! I added 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts and brushed the top with a mixture of 1tbs water and 3 tbs brown sugar for a sweet crunch on top.
ReplyDeleteWow, I enjoy this recipe after i made my self one. Thank you for sharing your blog post, I'm looking forward to read and learn about your goodies.
ReplyDeleteI really didn't like this recipe at all. I did everything as the recipe called for except I added cinnamon. It was very dense and not very flavorful. We didn't even finish the loaf, which is unusual in my house. I'll be looking for another recipe. Thanks anyway!
ReplyDeleteThis recipe is awesome! I read the other reviews that said it was a little dry, so I added about 1/2 a cup (give or take) of plain greek yogurt and that worked like a charm! I also added rolled oats & chocolate chips. YUM! definitely going to make this recipe again!

ReplyDeleteI was in the mood for bananas the other week and bought a nice big bunch. i have three left that are getting nice and ripe and would love a good recipe for some moist and delicious banana bread.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a good banana bread! If I hadn't made it myself, I'd have never known it was low-cal! I didn't have any egg substitute, so I just used 2 eggs. It came out perfect!
