Instead of throwing away those ripe bananas, turn them into delicious and moist banana bread. For an indulgent dessert, enjoy a warm slice of banana bread with a dollop of vanilla ice cream.
Ingredients
Here's the recipe with the listed ingredients for the banana bread:
- 1/2 cup Coconut/sunflower/canola oil
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 2 eggs, at room temperature (or 1/2 cup yogurt + 1 tsp white vinegar)
- 3 ripe bananas, mashed
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (maida)
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon powder
- A pinch of nutmeg powder
- 1/4 cup chopped walnuts
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease and flour a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the oil, brown sugar, and white sugar. Beat until well combined.
- Add the eggs (or yogurt + vinegar mixture) and vanilla extract to the bowl. Mix until smooth.
- Fold in the mashed bananas until incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon powder, and nutmeg powder.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Gently fold in the chopped walnuts.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 53 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Once done, remove from the oven and allow the banana bread to cool completely in the pan.
- Once cooled, slice into portions and enjoy!
