WHAT YOU WILL NEED.

Let’s delve in baking this delicious and moist banana bread. Let’s talk about the ingredients needed:

Bananas: Is there a banana bread without bananas really, huh?! As usual, make sure they are super ripe. Have an extra one to garnish on top.

All purpose flour: Whenever I am baking cake or quick bread that is not gluten free like this banana bread, this is the flour I would go for.

Baking powder: This is our raising agent in this quick bread.

Granulated white sugar: This is our choice of sweetener for this loaf. It can be castor sugar or regular white sugar or monkfruit sweetener. Incase one wants to use brown sugar or molasses or jaggery, you will achieve another depth of flavor which is still ok.

Eggs: They help in tenderizing the bread as well making it fluffy and moist. They are also the healthiest, most nutrient-dense natural foods on the planet especially if you choose the organic type.

Unsalted butter: This helps moisten the bread. You can as well use melted coconut oil or vegetable oil to moisten the bread.

Vanilla extract: as usual this is the real deal in adding more flavor to the bread.

Salt: to taste. Do not leave this out, pleeeeaassssee or else you definitely won’t like your bread.

HOW TO MAKE BANANA BREAD:

Preheat your oven at 180°C

In a bowl, add the flour, baking powder, sea salt and sugar. Whisk together till well combined then set aside.

On a flat plate, mash the peeled bananas.

In another bowl, whisk the eggs then add in melted unsalted butter, vanilla extract and the mashed ripe bananas. Mix till well incorporated.

Bring together the dry and wet ingredients and mix till all is incorporated.

Pour the mixture into a greased loaf pan ready for baking.

Bake for about 55-60 minutes at 180°C until the loaf is fully baked and a toothpick inserted inside comes out clean

Leave to cool then serve. Enjoy
