Ingredients:

2 cups self-raising flour
300g
1 tsp baking soda
5g
1 tsp cinnamon
3g
1 tsp ground nutmeg
5g
1 tsp cardamom
5g
2 tbsp ginger
30g
2/3 cup sugar
130g
2/3 cup greek yogurt
160g
2 eggs
100g
1 tsp vanilla extract
4g
1 banana
120g
2 tbsp honey
20g
1/2 cup butter
110g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Oven and Pan:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan with butter or non-stick spray and set it aside.
2. Mix the Dry Ingredients:
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the self-raising flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ground nutmeg, cardamom, ground ginger, and sugar until fully combined.
3. Mix the Wet Ingredients:
In a separate large bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, eggs, vanilla extract, mashed banana, honey, and melted butter until smooth.
4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Stir until just combined; be careful not to overmix, as this can make the bread dense.
5. Bake the Bread:
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
6. Cool the Bread:
Allow the banana bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
7. Prepare the Spiced Butter:
While the bread is cooling, prepare the spiced butter. In a small bowl, mix the softened butter with cinnamon, ground nutmeg, cardamom, and honey until fully combined. Transfer the spiced butter to a small serving dish.
8. Serve and Enjoy:
Slice the cooled chai-spiced banana bread and serve with a generous spread of spiced butter. Enjoy your flavorful and aromatic treat with a cup of chai tea or coffee!

Tips:

- Ensure all your ingredients are at room temperature, especially the butter, eggs, and yogurt. This helps in better mixing and results in a smoother batter.

- Mash the banana thoroughly to avoid any lumps in the bread.

- Use ripe bananas for a sweeter and more flavorful banana bread.

- For an extra burst of flavor, try adding a handful of chopped nuts or chocolate chips to the batter.

- Line your loaf pan with parchment paper for easy removal and clean-up.

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

Chai-spiced banana bread with spiced butter is not only a delicious treat but also a wonderful way to elevate your baking repertoire with aromatic spices. By following these tips and steps, you'll create a moist, flavorful banana bread that pairs perfectly with the rich and creamy spiced butter. Enjoy it fresh out of the oven or toasted for a comforting experience.
