How to Make Eggless Banana Nut Bread

This recipe is how to make eggless banana nut bread.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• 1 1/3 cups flour (all purpose flour preferred, whole wheat flour can also be used)
• 1/4 cup chopped walnuts (you can use any other nuts. If you do not prefer nuts, you can omit this altogether)
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 cup mashed ripe banana
• 1/3 cup buttermilk (you can use regular milk too)
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• pinch of salt
• 1 tbsp oil
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 9 x 5 Loaf pan

1. Sift flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, baking soda twice. This mixes all the ingredients uniformly. Keep aside.

2. Preheat oven to 350º F. Grease loaf pan (9 x 5 inch) with butter/oil. You can use non-stick cooking spray instead of butter/oil. Set aside.

3. In another bowl, add oil, buttermilk and vanilla extract and mix well. Pour this to the mashed bananas and mix well.

4. Pour the banana mixture and chopped walnuts into dry ingredients and mix well.

5. Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake for 40 to 50 minutes. To check if the bread has been baked, insert a knife or a toothpick into the middle of the bread. If it comes out clean, it's ready. If some batter sticks to the knife, it has to be baked for some more time.

6. When the bread is baked, take it out of the oven and cool the pan on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Turn the bread out of the pan and let it cool completely.

Tips & Warnings

• The bread is best if served the next day. It can also be covered in plastic and then foil and freeze for future use.
