Are you a Banana? Coz I find you a-PEEL-ng !!!

Obviously this post is about some recipe involving bananas. And that line is not mine. Again, obviously!!!

So I just love bananas, and anything made with them. And banana bread is something which I can have anytime, with my morning coffee or my evening tea or just any. hour.

This recipe I eventually have after doing some experiments with a couple of other recipes. You can make banana bread and also banana muffins with this recipe. If you want them extra gooey and if you are a chocolate lover, just throw in the batter a bunch of chocolate chips before baking and you have the perfect dessert to impress just anyone. And yes, serve it with a double scoop of vanilla ice cream. Or without it. It tastes delicious just the same...

My small tip when I do my baking is I keep 2 dry bowls before beginning. In bowl no.1 I add in my sifted dry ingredients and in bowl no.2 I combine all my wet ingredients. For me, this makes my baking fairly easy and mess free. 

So here's the recipe.

This is all that you will need:

• 1 cup toasted walnuts or pecans
• 1 and 3/4th cup plain flour
• 3/4th cup powdered sugar
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/4th tsp baking soda
• 1/4th tsp salt
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• 2 large eggs (if the eggs are small use 3 eggs) lightly beaten
• 1/2 cup butter, melted and cooled down to room temperature
• 3 over ripe bananas, mashed. (This is approximately 1 and 1/2 cups)
• 1 tsp vanilla essence

Method:

1. In bowl 1, sift and add in all the dry ingredients. Whisk them one time for extra airy mixture.
2. In bowl 2, mix together all the wet ingredients and beat them lightly with a fork.
3. Now add the contents of bowl 2 to bowl 1. With the help of an electric mixer or simply using a whisk, bring together all the ingredients till they are well combined.
4. Do not overmix the batter because you want the batter to be chunky and not smooth. If you overmix, that will yield a tough and leather-like product.
5. Add in the nuts and gently fold.
6. Pour in a greased loaf pan and bake for 45 mins approximately.

Once its baked completely, let it cool completely inside the pan, and then remove it from the pan.

Bake it, eat it, enjoy it!!!
