okay if you have some super ripe bananas lying around then it is time for you to
make my super soft moist and easy banana bread recipe it is packed with banana flavor and you
can literally eat this all day I've had like half a loaf all by myself just from picking
at it from like literally morning till night so to start off you want to preheat
your oven to 160c or 320 f with the fan on and lightly grease and line an 8 by 5
by 4.5 inch loaf tin if your loaf tin isn't exactly the same size as mine that's totally
fine it just means that your banana bread may just cook a little bit faster or take
a little bit longer depending on if your loaf tin is bigger or smaller than mine
now you just want to set your loaf tin aside for now and next we're going to mash together
three medium to large sized bananas the exact amount I use is 339 grams so if you want your
banana bread to be exactly like mine then I would recommend weighing your bananas but
this recipe is pretty forgiving so if you want to skip weighing your bananas then you can do
that and it should be fine so I'm just peeling the bananas and then placing them into a bowl
and then using a potato masher to mash them up pretty well you can use a fork for this too now
for the best banana bread it's really important to make sure that the bananas that you're using
are super ripe otherwise you're just not going to get that really nice flavor as well as texture
now once that's all nicely mashed up then just set your mashed bananas aside for now and next
we're going to sift together our dry ingredients so I've got 200 grams or one and two third cups
of all-purpose flour 16 grams or two tablespoons of cornstarch also known as corn flour in some
countries one teaspoon of baking powder three quarters of a teaspoon of baking soda half a
teaspoon of salt and three quarters of a teaspoon of ground cinnamon the cinnamon goes so so well
with banana and it's going to add the most wonderful flavor to your banana bread and then
you basically just want to mix that together with a whisk or Fork until it's well combined
now just set that aside for now and next in a large bowl add in 56 grams or a quarter cup
of room temperature unsalted butter 150 grams or three quarters of a cup of soft
brown sugar and 52 grams or a quarter cup of unflavored vegetable oil I like to use
canola oil and then you just want to use a hand or stand mixer on a medium speed and cream that
together for two minutes until it's light and fluffy by using soft brown sugar it's going
to add a wonderful almost caramel-like flavor to your banana bread once that's
done you want to add in one room temperature Egg and mix that in until it's well combined
now to finish off our wet ingredients I'm going to add in my mashed bananas
from earlier as well as one and a half teaspoons of vanilla and
again you just want to give that a good mix until it's well combined
now just get all of that batter off of your attachments and just put your mixer aside
and now to finish off our batter we're going to add in our pre-mix dry ingredients from earlier
and using a spatula you just want to gently fold that in until it's just combined now it's really
important not to over mix this batter so you only want to mix it until there aren't any big lumps of
unmixed flour and then just stop there so that is our batter done it smells so wonderful and
bananary and now you just want to distribute this into our loaf tin that we prepared earlier
now once that's done I love to just finish off by evenly Distributing about a quarter
cup of walnuts on the top and this just adds great additional texture and flavor to the banana bread
now just give your loaf tin a light bang on the counter to remove any large air bubbles
and now this is going to go into the oven for one hour or until a skewer or butter
knife comes out clean so my banana bread is done now it smells Divine it's been Cooling
in the cake tin for about 10 minutes and now I'm just taking it out of the loaf tin by lifting it
up with the baking paper and then placing it onto a wire rack to cool so you just want to
let this cool for about maybe 20 minutes to half an hour or so just to let it firm up a
bit and then it is ready to eat this banana loaf is honestly so so soft and moist it
has a wonderful banana flavor and I really love the addition of the walnuts on the top
it's just so good it's soft moist and that little bit of cinnamon coming through just
honestly takes it to that next level it's so so good so that is it guys as always if
you do decide to give this banana bread a go and you love it just as much as I
do then please do leave a review on my blog it really helps my content
