Ingredients:

2/3 cup butter
150g
1 cup sugar
200g
2 eggs
100g
1.50 bananas
340g
6 tbsp lemon juice
90g
2 cups all-purpose white wheat flour
250g
1 tsp baking soda
4.60g
1 tsp salt
6g
3 tsp lemon zest
6g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Prepare the Pan:
Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper to prevent the bread from sticking.
3. Mix the Wet Ingredients:
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.
4. Add Eggs:
Beat in the 2 eggs, one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next.
5. Add Bananas and Lemon Juice:
Stir in the mashed bananas and 6 tablespoons of lemon juice until well combined.
6. Combine the Dry Ingredients:
In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose white wheat flour, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1 teaspoon of salt.
7. Mix Dry and Wet Ingredients:
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter.
8. Fold in Lemon Zest:
Gently fold in the 3 teaspoons of lemon zest until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
9. Pour Batter into Pan:
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly.
10. Bake:
Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
11. Cool:
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
12. Serve:
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.
