There is something comforting with a juicy and delicious banana bread. This recipe will give you the juiciest and most delicious banana bread you have ever tried. The texture is super-moist and the flavour of banana, cardamom and cinnamon is just…..so tasty. You can add some walnuts or chocolate chip in the batter if you like, or just make it plain. Whatever you decide, if you like banana bread you have to try this super easy recipe.
How many times have you not had ugly brown bananas lying at home wondering what to do with them. Well now you can make some banana bread. Once the skin develop freckles you can use them to make banana bread. If you let them ripen longer until they are brown, even better, because you’ll get a stronger banana taste. In order for the banana bread to have the wonderful banana taste, you must use overripe bananas.
How to make banana bread
It’s super easy to make. Just mash the overripe bananas in a large bowl. Add all remaining ingredients except flour and baking powder. Stir the batter well with an electric mixer or a hand whisk. Finally, sift flour, baking powder and stir until well combined. If you prefer to add some walnuts or chocolate chip, you can add it now and stir it into the batter. Bake for 45 minutes, and just like that you’ll have this great banana bread in no time.
Spices
Cinnamon and Cardamom is two of my favorite spices in baking. Just add some and your cake or bread will have an amazing flavour. In this recipe I use freshly ground cardamom. First separate the seeds from the pods. Then place them in the mortar (bowl) and begin to grind the seeds with the pestle. You can use pre ground cardamom, however I prefer freshly ground cardamom seeds. Home-ground cardamom gives a much stronger flavor than pre ground. Give it a try, it’s definitely worth it.
Loaf pan or muffin tins
You can bake the banana bread it in a loaf pan or make small muffins. If you use a loaf pan you’ll have to bake it for about 45 minutes, but if you use muffin tins you only need to bake it for about 12 minutes.
