    Mehebub has a funny reaction every time he eats banana bread “I just don’t understand why you call it bread! It’s nothing but a cake”. Well, I also don’t know why it’s not called a cake! What I know is Banana Bread is awesome in taste and if you have overripe Bananas available in your pantry and there’s nobody to have those Bananas then this is your savior. Moreover, I make the bread healthy; I bake Whole Wheat Banana Bread mostly.

    My Worse Half and Little one love to make a mess especially when I am not around. This time again it’s exactly the same! I was in Chennai for Office Trip for 3 days. Upon returning I saw the height of untidiness and lots of weird things including 6 overripe bananas at my place! I ended up utilizing the bananas after cleaning the home with the father-daughter duo. I made two fresh loaves of whole wheat banana bread. This is my first Christmas Baking for 2014!

    Whole Wheat Banana Bread, a few details!

    %Banana Bread

    Banana Bread is a popular American bread prepared with ripped Bananas. I have replaced some of the ingredients from the Classical Recipe of Banana bread just to cut unwanted calories. However, the result is as good as the classical one. I have replaced All-purpose Flour with Whole Wheat Flour as it is a much healthier option. In addition to that, it gives the bread a natural crunch due to the presence of Fiber. In addition, I have replaced Butter with Refined Vegetable Oil to again cut Unwanted Calories.

    Description

    Whole Wheat Banana Bread is a great treat prepared with the goodness of Banana, Whole Wheat, and Walnut


    Ingredients

    Units Scale
    • 2.5 cup Whole Wheat Flour (can be replaced with All Purpose Flour)
    • 3 Over Ripped Banana (more the ripeness more the taste)
    • 150g Powdered Sugar (1 Cup)
    • 2 Egg
    • 1 Tsp. Baking Powder
    • 1 Tsp. Baking Soda
    • ½ Tsp. Vanilla Essence
    • 150ml Refined Vegetable Oil (can be replaced with Butter)
    • 3 Tbsp. Walnut (optional)


    Instructions

    %Making of the Batter for Banana Bread part 2

    1. Mash Bananas using a fork. It’s better not to use a food processor to mash bananas since we don’t need much smooth consistency and some crunches are required to have a crunchier version of the Bread.
    2. We need to mix all the Dry ingredients and Wet Ingredients separately.

    %Making of the Batter for Banana Bread part 1

    Mixing Dry Ingredients

    1. Mix all dry ingredients i.e. Whole Wheat Flour along with Baking Powder and Baking Soda in a bowl and keep the mixture aside.
    2. Sift it one or two times.

    Mixing Wet Ingredients

    1. Now it’s time to prepare a mixture of the Wet Ingredients.
    2. Add Sugar Powder to mashed Bananas and mix those properly using a fork or spoon.
    3. Now add the Oil to the mixture and mix.
    4. Add Eggs one by one and mix properly.
    5. Now it’s time to add the Vanilla Essence to the mixture.

    Mixing Dry and Wet Ingredients together

    1. Mix ⅓rd of the Wheat Flour mix to the Wet ingredients mix and after mixing properly add another part and mix and complete the mixing by adding the last part.
    2. Add chopped Walnuts to the mixture.
    3. Now the Mixture is ready for baking.

    Baking Whole Wheat Banana Bread

    %Making of the Batter for Banana Bread part 3

    1. Preheat the oven to 160 degrees C for 10 minutes and start mixing all the ingredients. Banana Bread requires no extra standing time, unlike other Bread.
    2. Take a Bread Tin and coat it with some oil and then coat with little Flour.
    3. Pour the mixture into the Bread tin.
    4. Don't overload the tin with the batter. Bread Tin filled till ⅔rd height would be fine since we have added raising agents (Baking Powder, Baking Soda, and Eggs) to raise the Bread.
    5. Bake at 160 degrees C for 50-60 minutes and do check frequently after 45 minutes of baking.
    6. Prick the Bread with a toothpick to check whether it is done or not. The Toothpick should come out clean when the Bread is done.
    7. Take the Bread Tin out in a Rack and de-mold the Bread Tin to get the yummy Banana Bread.
    8. Though Banana Bread can be stored for more than a week in my place, it takes hardly one day to finish it.

    Notes

    • Whole Wheat Flour can be replaced with All-Purpose Flour ( either 50-50 or 100%), however, I prefer to use Whole Wheat Flour since it is healthier and gives the bread a natural crunch due to the presence of fiber.
    • Refined Oil can be replaced with Butter but I always use Oil since it is healthier.

      Awesome recipe, Debjani 🙂 But I feel butter is healthier. Especially if it is homemade. Refined Oil is processed and it's not healthy in any way.

        Well, the calorie needs to be counted, dear 😉 moreover, in case of butter ( if that is not homemade) preservatives will be there..
