Banana bread

Banana bread is a delicious and versatile treat that can be enjoyed for breakfast, as a snack, or even as a dessert. This recipe offers a perfect blend of moist cake-like texture with the rich flavors of banana and a hint of cinnamon.

Ingredients:

1/4 cup butter
54g
4 cups self-raising flour
600g
1/4 cup all-purpose white wheat flour
30g
1 tsp cinnamon
3g
1/2 cup brown sugar
120g
2 bananas
240g
2 eggs
100g
1/2 cup milk (1% fat)
120g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
2. Prepare Dry Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, sift together the self-raising flour, all-purpose white wheat flour, and cinnamon. Mix well and set aside.
3. Mix Wet Ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, combine the melted butter and brown sugar. Mix until the sugar is well incorporated.
- Add the mashed bananas to the butter-sugar mixture and stir until combined.
- Beat the eggs in a small bowl and then add them to the banana mix along with the milk. Mix until smooth and well blended.
4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Stir just until all ingredients are combined and a batter forms. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the bread dense.
5. Pour the Batter into the Pan:
- Pour the banana bread batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it out evenly.
6. Bake:
- Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few crumbs clinging to it.
7. Cool:
- Remove the banana bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
8. Serve:
- Slice the banana bread and enjoy it as-is, or with a pat of butter for added flavor.

Tips:

- Make sure your bananas are ripe; overripe bananas with brown spots will give the best flavor and sweetness.

- You can add mix-ins like chopped nuts, chocolate chips, or dried fruits to customize your banana bread.

- Let the banana bread cool completely before slicing to ensure clean cuts and better texture.

- Use parchment paper to line your baking pan for easy removal and cleanup.

- Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of the bread; it should come out clean or with a few crumbs.

By following this recipe, you can create a delightful banana bread that is sure to satisfy your cravings and impress your friends and family. Whether you're a seasoned baker or a novice, this straightforward guide will help you achieve excellent results.
