The origin of banana bread is believed to reach Southeast Asia. However, there is not much more information about this delicious dessert. Whatever the history of banana bread then, we warmly recommend that you dare to try one or more of the recipes presented below.

1. Classic banana bread

The first recipe to help you make banana bread at home is the classic version of the recipe, but without the butter. By omitting the butter completely from the recipe, we can avoid the inclusion of saturated fats in the recipe. The oil, on the other hand, drives the same thing, but it contains more soft fats, while at the same time giving the recipe the fat it needs to keep the bread succulent and moist and well preserved. If you want to further enhance the nutritional value of this recipe, we recommend using olive oil because of its higher nutritional value.

Ingredients

• 3 eggs
• 200 g of cane sugar
• 200 ml of oil
• 3 bananas
• 2 dl milk
• 400 g baking flour
• A touch of baking powder
• A touch of baking soda
• Loraus vanilla extract
• Ground cinnamon (to taste)

Preparation instructions

1. Preheat oven to 180 degrees.
2. Grease and grind a loaf of bread or other heat-resistant container for the bread.
3. Beat the eggs and sugar until the end result is a smooth mixture without lumps. You will find that the mixture is ready when it has got a whiter color on the surface.
4. Then add oil and milk to the eggs and sugar. Continue mixing until all ingredients are evenly mixed.
5. Peel and crush the bananas with a fork.
6. Add the crushed bananas to the egg-sugar mixture and mix thoroughly.
7. Next, strain the flour together with baking soda and ground cinnamon into a separate bowl. Container for later use.
8. Then pour the vanilla extract into the egg-sugar mixture and mix again until all the ingredients are thoroughly mixed together.
9. Next, add the flour-cinnamon mixture to the liquid, but be careful not to mix the mixture too much and too vigorously, as excessive whipping can activate gluten, causing the bread to dry after cooking.
10. Finally, bake the bread in the oven for about half an hour. Check the maturity of the bread by dipping a wooden toothpick in it; if the stick comes off the dough clean, the bread is ready. Serve the bread fresh or with nuts and fruit, for example.

2. Banana bread with seeds and nuts

In this recipe, the numerous health benefits of seeds and nuts have been added to the valuable nutritional value of bananas.
