Preparation Time: 15 minutes
Baking Time: 50 minutes
Yields: 2 medium loaves
Ingredients:
- 300 grams of bananas
- 160 grams of sugar
- 120 ml of vegetable oil
- 120 ml of unsweetened milk
- 1 egg
- 200 grams of all-purpose flour
- 5 grams of baking soda
- 2 grams of salt
- 100 grams of chopped walnuts
- 2-3 stick packs of NuPlus® (any flavor of your choice)
Instructions:
- Mash the Bananas: Peel the bananas and mash them in a large bowl using a fork or a blender until smooth.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the egg until frothy, then combine the mashed bananas, NuPlus®, sugar, oil, and milk, then mixi until well-blended.
- Prepare Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, and salt to remove any lumps. This is your dry ingredient mixture.
- Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
- Add Walnuts: Stir in about ¾ of the chopped walnuts, reserving some to sprinkle on top of the loaves for decoration.
Baking:
- Prepare the Pan: Grease your baking pans with a thin layer of butter or line them with parchment paper for easy removal.
- Pour the Batter: Fill each pan about ¾ full. Optionally, add banana slices on top for extra appeal.
- Preheat and Bake: Preheat your oven to 175°C (165°C for darker pans). Allow the oven to heat for about 10-15 minutes. Bake the banana bread for 50-60 minutes. The tops should turn golden brown and spring back when lightly pressed. Test with a toothpick—if it comes out clean, the bread is done.
- Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove the bread from the oven and cool it on a wire rack.
Tips for making the Perfect Banana Bread:
- Choose ripe bananas with thin skin and a golden-yellow hue. Bananas with brown spots are ideal for this recipe.
- Store leftover banana bread wrapped tightly in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
- Avoid placing the bread on a sealed plate or tray, as trapped moisture can make the bottom of the bread soggy.
Enjoy your healthy and delicious NuPlus® Banana Bread with Walnuts!
