"Saumya, your recipe is just awesome ....Banana Bread couldn't get any better than this...Thank You "
Below is her recipe in her own words -
Things you will need:
- Ripe bananas - 4 (mashed well)
- Eggs - 2
- All purpose flour
- 2 cups
- Baking Powder
- 1 Tsp
- Baking Soda
- 1 tsp
- Unsalted Butter
- 1 stick
- Vanilla essence
- 1 tsp
- Sugar
- 1 cup (or more - depend on our desired taste)
Preparation Method :
- Sieve the All purpose flour, Baking soda and Baking powder in a bowl and keep it aside.
- Pre-heat the oven to 350 F. Butter the loaf pan on all sides and bottom.
- Using little all purpose flour dust the sides of the pan and bottom to keep the bread from sticking to the pan.
- Beat Sugar and Butter in a mixing bowl with a wooden spoon/hand mixer. Then add the eggs and beat it again for two minutes. Add Vanilla essence to it and beat again.
- Now add the mashed bananas to it and mix it for 3 minutes approximately. Then, add the sieved flour mix to this bowl adding little at a time, and mixing it continuously. Mix it for 4 minutes.
- Pour this to the baking ware/loaf pan and bake it for an hour exactly.
- Rule of thumb - Bake until the toothpick comes out clean when pierced inside the bread.
- Once done, set it aside to cool .
- Banana Bread is now ready !!!
Tips:
- The proportion is based on the No. of bananas. Lesser the number, lesser the quantity of ingredients should be used.
- One hour always woks for me. and I just test it with small knife/fork to make sure its fully baked
- Sugar level is based upon our taste. One cup of sugar gives the right taste - not too sweet kind.
- This can be made without using the electric mixer -- Wooden spoon is more than enough to mix the ingredients well.
- If you like, you could , top the batter with raisins or cashews before you place it in the oven. Its purely optional.
