This Saturday one of my class fellows said “Please try to post something on your blog...” I felt as if she is asking me to post some baking recipes. So finally I’ve decided to use today’s post for a very special recipe of banana bread. This banana bread is special in many ways.
About three months back when I was pulling my hair to figure out the way to start working on bakingdelight’s DAL (Data Access Layer), I took a break for 2 days and one evening I tried a special banana bread recipe to see if this time my baking sense works, as my baking sense most of the time doesn’t work !
Out of my surprise the bread turned out very well, I guess I really deserved a break...
So you girls get a good cup of tea and some chocolate chip cookies to enjoy today’s recipe.
Banana Nut Bread
Ingredients:
The wet ingredients are: two ripe bananas, 6 Tbs. melted butter, 1 tsp. vanilla extract, and two large eggs. For the dry ingredients: 1-1/3 cup flour, 1/2 tsp. baking soda, 1/4 tsp. baking powder, 2/3 cup sugar, 1/2 tsp. salt, and 1/2 cup chopped walnuts.
Directions:
Start by preparing a loaf pan by buttering the bottom and sides. Lightly flour the pan and tap out the excess flour. The loaf pan should be around 5 in. by 9 in. (13 cm by 23 cm) in size - a little larger or smaller isn't a problem.
Mash the bananas, melted butter, and vanilla extract together. Lightly beat the eggs together
Mash the banana mixture with the eggs until smooth and well blended.
Pour the banana mixture onto the dry ingredients. Add the walnuts.
Fold the ingredients together until no more white flour is uncovered while folding.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 55 minutes at 350°F.
After 55 minutes, the loaf of banana bread should be done. A wooden toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean. Set the pan on a wire rack to cool for ten minutes
Remove the loaf from the pan and let cool on the wire rack. Serve warm or fully cooled. The loaf can be wrapped in plastic and stored at room temperature for about four or five days.
The bread goes awesome with a glass of milk or a chilled glass of water (I prefer water).

Do try this bread and let me know how it turns out. Let me end this post with some more sweetness, below is the photo shown of “Suji ka Halwa” (Semolina Pudding). Today morning when I was planning for this post my younger brother came with a plate of Halwa, he cooked himself.
