Why you should follow this recipe

I am not a baker but I developed my basic baking skills few years back. I have explored a variety of ways to bake a banana bread. One, by adding yogurt with other wet ingredients directly and mixing it well. Second, by adding baking powder in the curd and then set it aside for 5 minutes and then adding it with rest of the ingredients. Third, which I have used in this recipe to make banana bread moist, is by adding vinegar in my wet ingredients. Second and third ones are the most effective ways to bake a delicious and melt in mouth cakes and breads.

Ingredients I have used for this Banana Bread

Whole Wheat Flour : In comparison to regular flour, Whole wheat flour has more nutrients. However, you need not to make any compromises with the taste of the banana bread.

Brown Sugar : Brown sugar is here to give the bread the sweetness which we always cherish in the cakes. You can use coconut sugar or jaggery powder (Shakkar) with the same amouunt of brown sugar as well.

Yogurt : It is best replacement to Eggs to add structure and texture to banana bread. You can use any neutral taste greek yoghurt or hung curd in this recipe. This would yield similar results.

Ripe Bananas : Please always use the ripest banana only to get the sweet banana flavour in the whole wheat banana bread. If you see the bananans lying on the kitchen counter which have freckles and are super spotty, Instead of throwing them into trash, make use of them and bake this banana bread. Spotty Bananas mean the bananas with high natural sugar and this will enhance the flavours of banana bread

Baking Powder, Baking Soda & Vinegar : These are the three key ingredients I always use to make my cake fluffy and moist. The combination of baking soda and vinegar aerates the batter which helps in leavening the cake. Their exact measurements I have mentioned in the recipe card. Please be carefeul to add the exact amount.

Vegetable Oil : I have used avocado oil for this recipe. You can use sunflower oil or olive oil or melted butter in your recipe. No matter what oil you use, it should have neutral taste.

There are tons of recipes but this one is an extremely easy with literally zero things to worry about. When you bake the banana bread, your house fills with its flavors. So, Happy Banana Bread Baking!!

TIPS FOR THE BEST EVER WHOLE WHEAT BANANA BREAD

1. Always use the most ripe bananas to bake the banana bread or I should say the more black they are, the bette it would be.
2. Sugar or jaggery powder or coconut sugar, whatever your sweetner choice, it should be finely granulated. If you think its not, then blend it once before you add with rest of the ingredients. This is mandatory for the lump free, smooth and flowy batters.
3. If you are planning to add almonds or walnuts in your banana bread, roast them. They give a nice and crunchy taste to the bread.
