Banana Bread





Finally i baked this banana bread !!! I have set out to bake this long long ago ever since i bought the cookbook 'Deceptively Delicious'. So, the verdict: hmm... not bad at all. Its a little bit sweet so next time i can cut down the sugar portion as my banana puree were pretty sweet. I didn't blend the banana puree just mashed them with fork. i guess that is good enough. I used Raw Sugar here as i don't brown sugar at home.

The orginal recipe: Deceptively Delicious

I modified the recipe a little :)

Ingredients

Cooking Spray
2 cups plain flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/3 teaspoon salt
Pinch Cinnamon (optinonal)
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup Raw sugar (blended finely) ** next time i think i should try 1/4 cup
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 cup banana puree
2 large egg whites

* one more ingredient i didn't add -- 1/2 cup cauliflower puree

Method
  1. Preheat the oven to 180 degree celcius. Coat a mini loaf pan with cooking spray
  2. In a bowl, mix the flours with baking soda, baking powder, salt and cinnamon. Set aside
  3. In a large mixing bowl, mix the sugar and oil with a wooden spoon until well combined. Mix in the egg whites, banana purees, and vanilla. Add the Flour mixture and mix just until combined.
  4. Pour the batter into the loaf pan. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean. Roughlty 20-25 minds for mini loaf. Let cook on a rack for 5 mins, then turn the bread out of the pan to cool before servig.
