Banana Cinnamon Bread

I don't think an wonderful Brunch party will be completed without an dense and moist banana-cinnamon bread......






This banana-cinnamon bread is one of my favorite baked goodies for many reasons, first it is very easy to pull out. Next they taste great with little effort and it is a satisfying breakfast in my house. This recipe can be customized to our wish. I some time do without cinnamon or it can be turned to be a spiced banana bread by adding cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg and allspice powder. In the same way the walnut can be substituted with toasted almonds or any other nuts out our choice.

So my Banana Cinnamon Bread goes for this month's Monthly Mingle - "Brunch"  hosted by Meeta of What's For Lunch, Honey?….


Ingredients :

All purpose flour - 1 1/4 cups
Butter - 1/2 cup
Sugar - 1 cup
2 eggs
Mashed ripe bananas - 3/4 cup
Baking soda - 1 teaspoon
Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
Chopped toasted walnuts - 1/2 cup
Cinnamon - 1/2 teaspoon



Procedure



Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Cream the butter and sugar until smooth. Now add the eggs 1 at a time and beat well. Now add the mashed bananas and mix gently.(wet ingredients)

Sift flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon together.(dry ingredients)

Now add the dry ingredients in 3 different batches into the wet ingredients and mix it very slowly till all the flour mixture is incorporated into the wet ingredients. Do not over mix the cake mixture.

Now slowly fold in the chopped walnuts. Transfer the batter into a well greased and floured loaf pan. Bake the banana bread for 1 hour or till the knife inserted comes out clean.

Now remove the bread from the oven and let it cool completely. Then start slicing it.

  29. Hi Friend:
    Normal sugar can be used for this banana bread. Next I toast walnuts in 350 degree oven for 10 to 15 mins then cool them down completely.
