📝 INGREDIENTS
Wet Ingredients:
🍌 Ripe Bananas: 2 large pieces
🍬 Sugar: 3/4 cup
🥛 Liquid Milk: 1/4 cup
🧈 Melted Butter: 3/4 cup
🥚 Eggs: 2 whole pieces
🌿 Vanilla Essence: 1 tsp
Dry Ingredients:
🌾 All-Purpose Flour: 1 & 3/4 cups (1.75 cups)
🥄 Baking Powder: 1 tsp
🥄 Baking Soda: 1/2 tsp
🍂 Cinnamon Powder: 1 tsp
👩🍳 INSTRUCTIONS
Prep the Loaf Pan: Brush a loaf pan with oil or melted butter and line it with parchment paper.
Mash Bananas & Mix Wet Base: In a large mixing bowl, mash the 2 ripe bananas thoroughly with a fork. Add 3/4 cup sugar and 1/4 cup liquid milk. Whisk well until the sugar dissolves.
Add Liquids & Eggs: Pour in 3/4 cup melted butter and whisk well. Add 2 eggs and mix until fully incorporated. Stir in 1 tsp vanilla essence.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate container, combine 1 & 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp baking soda, and 1 tsp cinnamon powder. Mix until well blended.
Combine & Fold: Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet banana mixture. Whisk and fold gently with a spatula until smooth and no flour lumps remain.
Pour & Bake: Pour the batter into your lined loaf pan and spread evenly.
Stovetop Method: Place a wire trivet inside a large pot, cover, and preheat. Place the loaf pan inside, cover with a lid, and bake on medium heat for 1 hour.
Oven Method: Bake in a preheated oven at 360°F (180°C) for 60 minutes.
Test & Cool: Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center—if it comes out clean, it’s done! Remove from the pan, cover with a clean kitchen towel while cooling to lock in the moisture, slice, and enjoy! 🍌😋
