My day started with a bad note today. I always start my day reading the news paper, so as usual I opened the door to pick the news paper and was shocked not to find it there. Immediately I called our security guard to check if the person had come today for distributing papers in our building at all. He nodded in affirmative. So it was evident that someone just walked away with our paper!! Later in the morning got a call from my maid to inform me that she wouldn't be coming even today( for last 2 days she has not been coming). To top as if this wasn't enough, during ironing of my clothes, the iron malfunctioned and blew out the fuse of my house. And mind you my day has not ended till now. God know what is in store for me till midnight!!!
I have tried preparing different recipes of banana breads mainly to develop the taste of banana in my 4 year old son who is averse to have banana in it's original form. Although this is a small step, however, I am happy to report that he ate two slices of the bread and liked it as well. So now my next step is to prepare banana based recipes in other form till he starts eating it on his own. When I saw this Banana Walnut Bread at my dear friend Suman's blog I made up my mind to follow her recipe for my next loaf session. And believe me it came out so soft, moist and tasty that even my hubby who is not a big fan of banana liked it. I knew I got my perfect banana loaf recipe. Thank you Suman for posting this wonderful recipe. Well Suman had adapted this recipe form Simply Recipes. So here is the recipe .....
Ingredients:
3 Ripe Bananas, mashed
1 1/2 cups All purpose flour
1/2 cup Walnuts, chopped
1/2 cup Butter at room temperature
3/1 cup Sugar
1 tsp Banana flavour
1 Egg, lightly beaten
1/2 tsp Baking soda
1 tbsp Milk
Pinch of Salt
Method:
Pre-heat oven to 180 Degree Celsius and lightly grease the loaf pan. Sift the flour , baking soda and salt in a large bowl. In another mixing bowl cream together sugar and butter. Add banana essence to it and mix well. Now add mashed bananas, beaten egg, milk, walnuts and mix till they are uniformly blended. The texture of batter will look like to be curdled but panic as this is natural. Then add the dry ingredients and mix well until blended. Pout the prepared batter into loaf pan and bake it for 50-60 minutes at 180 Degree Celsius. To check if the bread is ready, insert a toothpick in the center, if it comes out clean that means it's done. Invert the bread on a wire rack and let it cool down for 15-20 minutes.Cut into slices and enjoy !!!
