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
- 1/2 Tsp. Vanilla Essence
- 150ml Refined Vegetable Oil (can be replaced with Butter)
- 3 Tbsp. Walnut (optional)
Instructions
- 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.
- We need to mix all the Dry ingredients and Wet Ingredients separately.
Mixing Dry Ingredients
- Mix all dry ingredients i.e. Whole Wheat Flour along with Baking Powder and Baking Soda in a bowl and keep the mixture aside.
- Sift it one or two times.
Mixing Wet Ingredients
- Now it’s time to prepare a mixture of the Wet Ingredients.
- Add Sugar Powder to mashed Bananas and mix those properly using a fork or spoon.
- Now add the Oil to the mixture and mix.
- Add Eggs one by one and mix properly.
- Now it’s time to add the Vanilla Essence to the mixture.
Mixing Dry and Wet Ingredients together
- Mix 1/3rd 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.
- Add chopped Walnuts to the mixture.
- Now the Mixture is ready for baking.
Baking Whole Wheat Banana Bread
- 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.
- Take a Bread Tin and coat it with some oil and then coat with little Flour.
- Pour the mixture into the Bread tin.
- Don't overload the tin with the batter. Bread Tin filled till 2/3rd height would be fine since we have added raising agents (Baking Powder, Baking Soda, and Eggs) to raise the Bread.
- Bake at 160 degrees C for 50-60 minutes and do check frequently after 45 minutes of baking.
- 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.
- Take the Bread Tin out in a Rack and de-mold the Bread Tin to get the yummy Banana Bread.
- 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.
