Banana walnut bread

The banana walnut bread is one thing I absolutely love to bake, because not only does it taste moist and divine, it also leaves the house smelling sweet like a bakery. I have baked quite a few banana walnut breads, but the recipes I like the most is this one by Medha.

It takes just a few minutes to assemble the batter if you have the ingredients ready in your pantry. Also, there are no fancy ingredients so it is quite likely you’ll find everything you need for the banana walnut bread lying in your pantry right now!

To make banana walnut bread you’ll need:

1. 1½ cups of maida (plain flour)
2. 1 cup sugar
3. 3 bananas (I used elakkais – lovely small bananas available in Bangalore. If you’re using regular bananas, you can use just 2)
4. 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (akhrot)
5. 6 tbsp butter at room temperature (Original recipe calls for 4 tbsp unsalted butter. I used 6 tbsp of salted butter, cause that’s what was available at home)
6. 2 tbsp curd
7. 1/4 tsp salt
8. 1 tsp baking soda
9. 1/4 cup milk
10. 1 tsp vanilla essence

Preheat the oven for. Mash the bananas using a blender. Add the sugar, curd and whirr in the blender once more. Add the butter, salt, flour and baking soda and mix well. Add the milk, vanilla essence and finally add the walnuts. Grease a bread pan with butter, especially the corners and edges of the pan. I used a basic aluminium bread baking pan. Dust it with a little flour and pour in the batter. Bake it for 50 mins at 170 degrees C. Check by poking the bread with a toothpick to see if it comes out clean. Invert the bread on a wire rack for 10-15 minutes. Once the bread is at room temperature, slice it and enjoy. :)
