Banana Bread

I think it is called Bread simply because it rhymes well with the Banana. Otherwise to my knowledge it is just a cake devoid of icing. The same ingredients, proportions slightly different but nonetheless tastes perfectly like a cake with the added advantage being, that it can be baked in a jiffy without bothering much about folding the flour and all. Just mix them all up, pop it in the oven and get ready to enjoy after the stipulated half hour. :)


I got this recipe in one of my browsing spree to do some last minute baking for a get together at a friend's place. I ended up finding exactly what I wanted here which has in turn led me to this post. So, at any point of time, when you have a set of very ripe bananas which you dont feel like eating, you can end up making this very yummy, easy, Banana Bread..Well, I still wanted the rhyme..

Ingredients:

All Purpose Flour - 1 and 1/4cup
Salted Butter - 1/2 cup (or) 1/4lb
Sugar - 1 cup
Eggs - 2 Nos
Ripe Yellow Bananas - 2 Nos
Baking powder - 1/2 tsp
Almonds (chopped) - 1/4 cup
Chocolate chips - 1/8 cup

Way to Go..

Cream the butter and sugar together until it has combined well. Add the ripe bananas and mix well. Break eggs into the mixture and blend nicely. To this add the flour and baking powder and mix well until all the ingredients come together. Add in the almonds and chocolate chips and mix. Pour the mixture into the baking tray and bake in a preheated oven at 350 degrees FH for about 30 to 35 mins. Post which you can sit back and enjoy the delicious banana goodness!!
