Pre-preparation

1)Line a 9" X 4" loaf pan with parchment paper and set aside. Preheat oven to 180 degree C or 356 degree F for at least 10 minutes.

Dry Ingredients

2)Take wheat flour in a bowl. I used complete wheat flour in this recipe, but you can use half plain flour and half wheat flour for making banana bread.

Pro Tip: I used store bought packaged wheat flour and not homemade.

3)Add in baking soda and baking powder to the wheat flour. This is your raising agent.

4)Add in ground cinnamon. Personally I like the combination of cinnamon and bananas together. You can use ground ginger, cardamom, in banana bread.

5)Mix this dry ingredients together using a whisk till it is combined. You can sieve this mixture through a sieve as well.

Chopped Nuts

6)For banana bread I prefer to use some kind of nuts for texture. Walnuts, almonds, cashews and pecans taste great in banana bread. Chop nuts into tiny pieces using a knife and set aside.

Pro Tip: You can bake nuts in a 180 degree C oven for 8 to 10 minutes for more nutty flavour.

Making Eggless Banana Bread Batter

7)Take ripe bananas in a mixing bowl. I used nearly 400 grams of bananas. Make sure the bananas are super ripe and sweet.

8)Use a whisk to roughly mash the bananas till it is pulpy.

9)Add in sugar to the bananas. You can use unrefined brown sugar for healthy option.

10)Add in pure vanilla extract.

11)Add in melted butter into the bananas. For vegan option you can use oil.

12)Use a whisk to combine this really well till smooth.

13)Add in half of the dry ingredients into the banana mixture.

14)Fold gently to combine. Don't over mix at this point.

15)Add in milk. I used half cup of room temperature milk. For vegan option you can use any nut milk.

16)Mix that gently into the batter.

17)Add in the remaining wheat flour mixture.

18)Add in the chopped nuts. You can use dried fruits or chocolate chips in banana bread batter.

19)Fold gently using spatula until the batter is just combined. Don't over mix the batter. If your batter is too thick, you can add some milk.

20)Spoon the banana bread batter in a loaf pan lined with parchment paper and spread evenly.

Baking Eggless Banana Bread

21)Use a butter knife to make a cut in the centre of the banana bread. This will make sure that the bread rises evenly and bakes faster in oven.

22)Place the loaf pan in a 180 degree C preheated oven, centre rack. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes. To check whether the cake is baked, insert a toothpick in the centre of the bread. If the toothpick comes out clean then the bread is baked.

23)Remove the banana bread from the oven, set aside to cool for 15 minutes in the pan. After 15 minutes gently remove the bread from loaf pan and allow it to cool for at least 1 to 2 hours.

24)Now slice banana bread using a serrated knife.

25)Serve banana bread warm with a cup of tea or coffee.

• Instead of using whole wheat flour, you can use plain flour for better texture. Half whole wheat and half plain flour can be used.
• Increase sugar to ¾ cup if you prefer sweeter banana bread.
• Instead of melted butter you can use oil or ghee.
