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:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
- In a large mixing bowl, sift together the self-raising flour, all-purpose white wheat flour, and cinnamon. Mix well and set aside.
- 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.
- 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.
- Pour the banana bread batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it out evenly.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
