Ingredients
- 2 overripe bananas (mashed) + 1 banana for topping
- 140 g flour (70g rye flour / 70 white flour)
- 90 g Unsalted butter (melted)
- 2 eggs
- 150 g icing sugar
- 1 tsp ground Cardamom
- 1tsp baking soda
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven at 180 °C. Line the base and sides of a loaf tin with parchment paper and grease it with butter.
2. Melt butter in the microwave for 30 seconds. In a large bowl whisk the melted butter with icing sugar until they transform into a fluffy white paste. Add two eggs and mix until blended.
3. Carefully peel the overripe bananas and mash them thoroughly with the help of a fork. Mix with the butter and eggs mixture.
4. Next, add one tablespoon of vanilla extract, cardamom, and baking soda into the bowl. Then, gradually stir in the flour and mix until the ingredients are thoroughly combined and a smooth batter forms.
5. Pour all the batter into the greased thin. Top with banana slices and place the thin in the middle rack of the oven and bake for approximately 50 minutes. Verify if the middle is cooked thoroughly by sticking a toothpick into it. If the toothpick is clean, it means that the banana bread is ready to be cooled and served.
Tips & Notes
- Nutrition is per one serving which equals ~ 65 grams.
- Icing sugar is the same thing as powdered sugar. Its ability to quickly blend with the rest of the ingredients is useful and time-sparing.
- Rye flour is a gluten-free flour produced from Rye grain and has a dark and dense texture. The only reason I included it is to add more nutritional value and consistency to banana bread.
