Rustic Banana Bread

I can bet thisΒ Rustic Banana Bread will become one of your favorite breakfast options soon! I’ve added some roughly chopped walnuts and almonds to add more flavor and fiber to this bread. The yogurt is seriously the star, I will call it the moist-maker here! πŸ™‚ This bread is perfect for those mid-day hunger pangs or for packing a lunch box for kids. Slice the bread, toast it and slather it with some butter or your favorite jam/ spread! Yum!! You could even serve this as a light tea cake too. It’s rustic and looks gorgeous without making any efforts.

Rustic Banana Bread

I usually avoid buying bananas as neither my hubby nor I have bananas on everyday basis and they tend to sit on my kitchen counter and turn mushy and dark. In other words, the foundation for some of the most delicious bakes/ cakes that you can enjoy. This bread had no different beginnings, humble ingredients and absolute spectacular results! This bread tasted so great even on the second day πŸ™‚

I’ve shared many banana breads/ cakes earlier too and they’ve all been loved by the readers! I’ll suggest you make this one son as well! I came across this recipe on another blog and I’ve already made it twice, it’s that awesome! What I particularly loved about this recipe is it is very easy to customize it further. I’ll soon be adding some pecans and cranberries the next time around I’m making this πŸ™‚

Let’s make this bread right away, make sure all the ingredients are at room temperature..

Pre- heat the oven to 180′ C. Brush a 9 inch X 5 inch loaf tin with some butter and line with baking paper.

In a large mixing bowl, mix together flour, almond meal, baking powder, demerara sugar, salt. Mix well with a whisk.

In a separate mixing bowl, blend together mashed bananas, refined oil, and yoghurt. Then add this mixture to the flour mixture. Fold the chopped walnuts and almonds and pour the batter into baking tin. Top up with banana split lengthwise (optional).

Bake for 45-50 minutes, until a skewer inserted to the center of the bread comes out clean. If the bread begins to look too brown on the top after the first 30 minutes, then cover the top with some aluminum foil. Cool the bread for 10-15 minutes before removing from the tin. Place the bread on a cooling rack and cool for a further 30 minutes before slicing the bread.

I even served this bread with some chocolate ice-cream for dessert the other night, warm slices of bread with icy cool ice-cream was so good!! Look at the texture of the bread, it’s moist and holds together very well πŸ™‚ I hope you’ll try this one soon.
