Ingredients :
Ripe bananas – 4
All purpose flour – 2 cups

Baking soda – 1/2 teaspoon
Butter – 1/2 cup, softened
Castor sugar – 1 cup
Milk – 1/2 cup
Walnuts and almonds – 1/2 cup
Let’s start !
Method :
Starting with the basics of baking, you prepare the wet ingredients and dry ingredients seperately. First of all, preheat the oven at 180°. So let us start with the dry ingredients first. Take a bowl and put the all purpose flour, cinnamon powder, ginger powder, baking powder, baking soda in it. Then give it a nice mix and keep aside.
Prepare the wet ingredients by mixing the softened butter and Castor sugar together. Make sure that the butter is softened a bit before mixing otherwise it will be difficult to mix. Then, add the bananas to the bowl and mix well. Add the milk and mix again. Finally, add walnuts and almonds or any dry fruit of your choice.
So, we are done with the wet and dry ingredients and now let’s mix them. Take the dry ingredients and slowly put it into the wet ingredients’ bowl. Start by folding the dry ingredients nicely into the wet ingredients. Gradually, add the entire mixture and mix well.
The batter is prepared. Tranfer it into your favourite bowl or loaf pan after buttering it so that the banana bread doesn’t stick to the bowl and bake it in the oven at 180° for 40-50 minutes. Make sure, it is preheated!
Tip : How to know if the banana bread is properly baked. Poke a toothpick inside it, if it comes out clean then it is baked properly however, if some batter sticks to it that means it needs more time !
After taking it out of the oven, wait for it to cool down, then serve ! 🌸
Enjoy your banana bread ! 💜
