This is also one of those recipes with no exact measurement as everything depends on personal taste. Easy peasy!

I was spending an extended weekend at my parents’ when I realized that they haven’t used their new sparkly oven at all. My parents just moved back in to their newly renovated home and they’re never a big user of oven. As for me, I’ve been missing baking / cooking using oven because we don’t have one in our rented apartment. So I thought I’d warm up forgotten baking skill (and the oven!) by making something easy and almost error free: Banana Bread!

Banana Bread

230 gram (1.75 cup) all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
110 gram (0.5 cup) butter, melted and cooled
125 gram (0.5 cup) white sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 ripe bananas, mashed well
optional: 110 gram pecans / walnut, toasted and chopped

Instructions

Preheat oven to 180 degrees C and prepare rack to the middle position
Grease your bread loaf pan (Mine is 23 x 13 x 8 cm) with butter or vegetable spray
If you want to add nuts, toast them for 10 minutes in the oven. Chopped once cool.
In a bowl combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and ground cinnamon
In another bowl combine butter and white sugar until well combined. Add eggs, vanilla extract and mix well. To this mix then add your mashed bananas and stir lightly to combine.
Add the banana mix into the dry ingredients and mix lightly. Do not overdo the mix to avoid rubbery bread.
Pour the batter into the greased loaf pan and let it bake for 55 – 60 minutes.
Test if the cake is baked by inserting a toothpick / a chopstick into the centre and see if it has come out clean.
Place on a wire rack to cool down and remove bread from pan.
Cut to serve and enjoy!
