We usually buy this from the farmer’s market as this is my hubby’s favourite.We get small slabs of this banana bread and its usually finished the same evening. Last time we bought some bananas and I kept aside 3 so that they can ripen and I get to make the banana bread. I found the recipe from Katie Joel’s book and found it simple to follow.The cake turned out to be yummy and delicious and hubby was suitably impressed
Ingredients:
2 cups AP flour
3/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking powder
3 bananas mashed
2 eggs
1 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup chopped almonds
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup buttermilk
Method:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a bowl mix flour,baking soda, baking powder and salt.
In another bowl, beat together sugar,oil,eggs and vanilla till well combined.
Add the dry ingredients alternating with buttermilk.
Stir in the mashed bananas and nuts
Pour batter in a loaf pan and bake for 45 to 55 minutes or till a toothpick comes clean.
Allow to cool.Slice and serve.
