Banana Bread (Second Attempt)

The recipe I used was adapted from:

Banana bread recipe

• 125g unsalted butter
• 3 super ripe bananas
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 egg, lightly beaten
• 1 tsp vanilla extract or paste (only use essence if you’re desperate!)
• pinch of cinnamon
• pinch of cloves
• 1 and 1/2 cups plain flour (I used self-raising flour and no baking powder, that’s why the bread is so flat)
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• pinch of salt
• handful of raw walnuts, roughly chopped (optional)

I tried this recipe before and was satisfied with it but wanted to tweak it a little bit more to suit my taste.

1. Preheat oven to 350F.
2. Line a 9x5 loaf pan with parchment paper.
3. Melt 1 stick + 1 tablespoon unsalted butter.
4. Mash 2 super-ripe bananas in a mixing bowl.
5. Add the melter butter, 3/4 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup milk, 1 slightly beaten egg, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon into the mixing bowl.
6. Sift into the mixing bowl 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
7. Mix until incorporated but do not overmix.
8. Bake for 50 mins to 1 hour.

The banana cake came out really moist and smell and taste really good. Very good for breakfast.

Note: Good recipe.
