Banana bread

Banana bread is a classic, delicious treat that is perfect for breakfast, dessert, or a snack. Not only is it incredibly easy to make, but it also utilizes ripe bananas, which might otherwise go to waste. This recipe will guide you through the process of creating a moist, flavorful banana bread that everyone will love.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup butter
110g
1/2 cup brown sugar
120g
1 egg
50g
3 bananas
360g
2 tbsp greek yogurt
30g
1 tsp vanilla extract
4g
2 cups all-purpose white wheat flour
250g
1 tbsp baking powder
16g
1 tsp cinnamon
3g

Instructions:

1. Preheat & Prepare:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan, or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
2. Mix the Wet Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy using a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed.
- Beat in the egg until well combined.
- Stir in the mashed bananas, then add the Greek yogurt and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
3. Combine Dry Ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and cinnamon until evenly distributed.
4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed just until incorporated. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in a dense bread.
5. Bake:
- Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
- Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
6. Cool:
- Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.
- Transfer the bread to a wire cooling rack to cool completely before slicing.

Tips:

- Make sure your bananas are very ripe, as they will provide more sweetness and moisture to the bread.

- Cream the butter and brown sugar well to incorporate air, which helps in making the bread light and fluffy.

- Don't overmix the batter after adding the dry ingredients; mix just until combined to ensure a tender bread.

- If you prefer a richer flavor, you can use dark brown sugar instead of light brown sugar.

- Add-ins like chopped nuts, chocolate chips, or dried fruits can be mixed into the batter for extra texture and flavor.

- Let the banana bread cool in the pan for about 10-15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. This helps it firm up and makes it easier to slice.

Your banana bread is now ready to be enjoyed! The aroma of freshly baked banana bread fills your home, and the taste offers a comforting blend of sweet banana, a touch of cinnamon, and a soft, moist texture. Serve it warm or at room temperature, and consider adding a spread of butter or a drizzle of honey for an extra touch. Happy baking!
