Are you craving a delicious slice of warm banana bread but you don't have any baking soda or powder? Don't worry, you can still make a moist and flavorful banana bread without those ingredients. Here's a recipe that uses simple and easy-to-find ingredients that you probably already have in your pantry.
Ingredients:
• 3 overripe bananas, mashed
• 1/3 cup melted butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup white granulated sugar
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. In a large mixing bowl, mash the bananas with a fork until smooth.
3. Add melted butter, vanilla extract, and sugar to the bowl and mix well.
4. Add the beaten egg and mix until combined.
5. In a separate bowl, mix all-purpose flour, cinnamon, and salt together.
6. Add the flour mixture to the banana mixture and stir until just combined.
7. Fold in the chopped nuts, if using.
8. Pour the batter into a greased loaf pan.
9. Bake for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
10. Let the banana bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
11. Slice and serve.
Variations:
You can customize your banana bread by adding different ingredients to the batter. Here are a few suggestions:
• Chocolate chips
• Chopped dried fruits, such as dates or apricots
• Shredded coconut
• Cream cheese filling
• Lemon zest
• Carrots
Tips:
• Use very ripe bananas. The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your bread will be.
• Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough and dense bread.
• Don't open the oven door while baking. Opening the oven door can cause the bread to collapse.
• Let the bread cool completely before slicing. Cutting the bread while it's still warm can cause it to crumble.
• Store leftover banana bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
Conclusion:
Now you have a delicious banana bread recipe that doesn't require baking soda or powder. This recipe is perfect for those times when you don't have those ingredients on hand, but still want to indulge in a tasty treat. Enjoy!
