Ingredients:
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper to prevent the bread from sticking.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the 2/3 cup of butter and 1 cup of sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This should take about 3-5 minutes using an electric mixer on medium speed.
Beat in the 2 eggs, one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next.
Stir in the mashed bananas and 6 tablespoons of lemon juice until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose white wheat flour, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1 teaspoon of salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter.
Gently fold in the 3 teaspoons of lemon zest until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly.
Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, slice and enjoy your warm banana-lemon tea bread. It's perfect with a cup of tea or coffee!
Tips:
- Make sure your butter is softened before you start mixing. This ensures a smooth and even batter.
- Use ripe bananas for better flavor and natural sweetness.
- Fresh lemon juice and zest work best, but bottled lemon juice can be a good substitute if fresh lemons are not available.
- Do not overmix the batter; stir just until the ingredients are combined to avoid a dense loaf.
- For an added twist, you can fold in some chopped nuts or chocolate chips into the batter before baking.
- Always preheat your oven to the specified temperature to ensure even baking.
Congratulations! Your warm banana-lemon tea bread is now ready to be enjoyed. This delightful bread pairs wonderfully with a hot cup of tea or coffee. Share it with family and friends or savor it as a sweet treat for yourself. Once you try this recipe, it’s bound to become a favorite in your baking repertoire.
