Moist Banana Bread (w/ variations)



This is a super reliable recipe that I like to use when I have overripe bananas lying around. I usually like to freeze bananas for smoothies if they get too ripe or I make this banana bread. The recipe has very little butter which is great if you like to enjoy your banana bread with a little butter spread over it!

Moist Banana Bread


Ingredients:


          4 overripe bananas, mashed
          50g butter, melted and cooled
          1/4 cup full cream milk
          1/4 cup water
          2 eggs
          2 cups plain flour
          1 3/4 tsp. baking powder
          2/3 cup brown sugar, packed
          1 cup dark chocolate chips (optional)
          1 tsp. cinnamon (optional)


Method:

  1. Preheat oven at 180 degrees Celsius
  2. Combine bananas, butter, milk, water and eggs in a medium bowl
  3. Sift together flour and baking powder and stir in brown sugar
  4. Stir both wet and dry mixtures together until just combined
  5. Fold in desired additions
  6. Bake for 40-45 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean


****Tips: 

- You can add 1/2 cup walnuts for extra texture if desired
- Melted butter can be switched out for equal amounts coconut oil or any other oil
- Instead of water and milk, skimmed milk can be used
- To make brown sugar you can use 2/3 cup raw sugar mixed with 2 tsp. golden syrup
- I often freeze slices of the bread and take it out the night before for a nice breakfast or as part of a packed lunch
