Banana Bread
Banana Bread
This was one of my first baking projects and came from my search for a simple egg less cake over the internet. I have overtime tried to make this more healthy and below is one of my more successful attempts. My kids have a sweet tooth and they loved this cake -- so this one has been tested as well.
Ingredients:
1/2 cup sunflower oil
3/4 cup sugar ( I try to add a mix of brown sugar + white sugar)
1 cup whole wheat flour / atta
1/2 cup ragi (finger millet) flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
3 very ripe bananas - mashed
1/2 tsp vanilla essence
1/4 cup walnuts ( can add choclate chips as well)
1 -2 tbsp maple syrup or caramel sauce
Method:
1. Preheat the oven to 160C. Lightly grease the loaf pan. I also like the bundt cake design for cakes.
2. In a large bowl, cream the oil and sugar. Add Vanilla.
3. Sift in the flour, baking soda and salt. Also add the walnuts to the mix.
4. Blend in the mashed bananas. Add the maple syrup/ caramel sauce and mix.
5. Pour batter in the prepared pan.
6.Bake in the preheated oven for 60 mins or until it is done.
Note: This recipe allows for a lot of variations. You can put 11/2 of whole wheat flour instead of the wheat flour and ragi mix.You can also substitute part of the sugar with Jaggery powder.

Notes: One can add 1-2 eggs (M sized) as long as we can maintain the consistency of the mixture
