I saw the fruit basket in my kitchen, and caught glimpse of ripe bananas….and the first thing that came to my mind was “Banana Bread” 
My kids just love freshly baked Banana bread straight from the oven! You just can’t compare a home baked Banana bread with a shop bought one!

I’ve tried quite a few recipes, this is by far my favourite one!

I add crushed walnuts and sometimes I add chocolate chips too for an extra flavour that my kids love!

So, it’s really up to you if you want to add walnuts, pecans, chocolate chips or just the bananas!

Let’s get started:)

Ingredient

  • 3 medium bananas about 1 cup mashed
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 egg room temperature
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar or brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts

Directions

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees

Mix the flour, Bicarbonate soda, salt and sugar (I prefer using brown sugar but you can use whichever is available) in a bowl.

Mash the bananas and mix them together with mayonnaise and egg.

After that, fold in the flour mixture along with the walnuts. Don’t over mix.

Pour the mixture into the lightly greased loaf pan.

Bake it in the oven for 60-70 minutes.

Remove from the pan and place on a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

To Make Muffins, divide over 12 muffin wells and bake for 14-18 minutes or just until a toothpick comes out clean. Do not overbake.

Enjoy 🙂

      I use plain flour. If you got only self raising flour, you can use that too. Last time I baked banana bread, I used self raising flour as I didn’t have any plain one. Worked out fine! Hope that helps 🙂
