Equipment

  • 1 Mixing Bowl
  • 1 Whisk
  • 1 Oven

Ingredients
  

  • 3 medium Eggs
  • 1 Cup Oil
  • 1.5 Cups Sugar see note #1
  • 3 Cups Self-raising Flour See note #3
  • 3 medium Bananas See Note #2
  • 1 cup Walnuts crushed
  • 1 cup Milk (or sour cream) warm
  • 2 teaspoons Cinnamon
  • 1 Tablespoon Vanilla Essence

Instructions

  • Pre-heat the oven to 360 F (about 180 C)
  • Line a baking tray or loaf tin with parchment paper (baking paper)
  • With a fork or masher, mash the bananas and keep them aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, sugar and oil and whisk till creamy.
  • Add the eggs and vanilla essence and whisk them till light in color and fluffy.
  • Now add milk and continue whisking. The batter will look like a thick milkshake by now.
  • With a spoon or a spatula, fold in the flour, cinnamon powder and mix gently till well combined.
  • Add the mashed banana and mix gently.
  • Mix in the crushed walnuts
  • Bake for 50 minutes or till it is cooked.

Notes

Note #1: You can increase sugar to 2 cups for sweeter banana bread
Note #2: Use any oil of your choice. Please be mindful that their flavor will affect the final flavor of the bread (eg coconut oil). I have decided to use Olive Oil. You can also use any neutral-smelling oil you have in your pantry.
Note #3: 1 cup Self raising flour = 1 cup plain flour + 1.5 teaspoon baking powder + 0.5 teaspoon salt
Note #4: Insert a toothpick, knife, or skewer into the center of the cake. If it comes out clean or with only a few crumbs attached, it usually means the cake is done. If there is wet batter sticking to the toothpick, it needs more baking time.
