Banana bread is a type of bread that is made with mashed banana. This recipe calls for the buttermilk, which makes the banana bread super soft and gives the soft pours texture.
In a large bowl add in the ripe banana and mash well without any lumps and set them aside.
In another large bowl crack open the eggs,
Add in ⅓ cup buttermilk
Add in ½ cup vegetable oil. I am using coconut oil.
Whisk really well until all the ingredients are combined well.
Now add in ½ cup white sugar and 1 cup brown sugar and combine everything together until they are dissolved (You may also use powdered white sugar).
Now add in 1 tsp of vanilla essence. Add in the mashed banana along with the wet ingredients.
In a large bowl sieve in the Maida, baking soda, and salt. Sieve it twice or thrice, this ensures an even mixture of the dry ingredients. Along with the wet ingredients add in the sieved flour mixture
Fold gently until all the ingredients are mixed evenly. Don’t over mix.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. I usually apply butter dust with flour and then place a parchment paper.
Preheat the oven at 180 deg C for 10 mins and then Bake at 180 deg C for about an hour or bake till a toothpick comes out clean when inserted. Allow it to cool completely and then slice the bread.
