Hello everybody, it is me again, Dan, welcome to our recipe site. Today, we’re going to prepare a special dish, banana bread. It is one of my favorites. For mine, I am going to make it a little bit tasty. This is gonna smell and look delicious.

Banana bread is one of the most favored of current trending foods on earth. It is easy, it’s fast, it tastes delicious. It’s appreciated by millions daily. Banana bread is something that I have loved my entire life. They are fine and they look fantastic.

I'm not a big fan of banana bread, but we had three or four bananas wasting away in the pantry so I decided to give this bread a shot. Cream the sugar and butter in a large mixing bowl until light and fluffy. A not too sweet, super-moist, deep golden brown, dense banana bread with a crispy sugary crust right out of the oven.

To begin with this recipe, we have to prepare a few ingredients. You can have banana bread using 11 ingredients and 15 steps. Here is how you cook it.

The ingredients needed to make Banana bread:

1. Take Half cup or 70 grams of walnuts or almonds;chopped and roasted
2. Make ready 1 3/4 cup or 230 grams of white flour
3. Make ready 150 g or 3/4 cup white sugar or (100g white and 50g brown sugar)
4. Get 1 tsp baking powder
5. Make ready 1/4 tsp baking soda
6. Make ready 1 tsp ground cinnamon
7. Make ready 2 large eggs
8. Take 1/2 tsp salt
9. Get 1/2 cup or 113g melted cooled butter
10. Prepare 300-454 g ripe banana (7 to 8 bananas)
11. Make ready 1 tsp lemon (about a medium sized lemon)

In a large bowl, stir together flour, sugar, baking soda and salt. Stir in the sugar, beaten egg, and vanilla extract. Banana bread is a great way to use up extra bananas (or those ones that go brown). Put them to use with some classic banana bread recipes.

Steps to make Banana bread:

1. Preheat the oven @ 180 degrees Celsius. (15 mins before you intend to put the bread in the oven).
2. Line the loaf tins ahead of time too with some butter paper after putting oil on them. This recipe fills about two medium loaf tins.
3. Roast the nuts. You can put them on a baking sheet and roast them for 8 to 10 minutes or you could do the same in a non stick pan without any oil. Then chop them with a knife or put them in the blender and grind untill they turn into flakes.
4. Take the bananas and mash them with a fork. Add the lemon.
5. In a bowl combine the dry ingredients; flour, baking powder, baking soda and cinnamon.
6. Sift these. Then add the nuts. (be sure to add the nuts in the dry ingredients)
7. Beat the melted butter and sugar well. (You can melt the butter in a double boiler). The sugar used is the normal sugar, not the powdered one.
8. Beat the eggs and salt in a separate bowl untill fluffy. ((If you dont wanna include the cinnamon in the recipe, add a dash of vanilla essence but cinnamon is MUCH preferred))
9. Add the butter sugar mixture to the eggs in a big bowl. Add the bananas and lemon and beat very lightly.
10. Add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and fold with a spatula. (Dont over mix and dont keep the mixture for too long either as you've added the baking soda).
11. Scoop the mixture about halfway in the loaf tins. You can add some banana slices or nuts on the top for decoration.
12. Bake @ 180 degrees Celsius or 350 F for about 30 minutes in the second rack of the oven and then check with a toothpick. For the bread to be completely done, the toothpick should come out clean.
13. In the end, once it's almost baked, after sort of about 30 mins, shift it to the middle or the fourth rack and turn on the upper grill and give it like 5 mins for some colour to appear on it. When the toothpick comes out clean, the bread is done
14. (This recipe could potentially take you longer than 30 minutes depending on the size of the loaf so checking with a toothpick is crucial).
15. Glaze the top of the bread with butter or butter plus jam as soon as it's done for added softness.

In large bowl, beat sugar and butter with spoon until light and fluffy. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt. There are several possible explanations behind this. You may have added too much or too little baking soda, or maybe your baking soda has already gone bad. Baking is an exact science, so little mishaps like this could be detrimental to your bread!
