Whole Wheat Banana Bread

 
Ingredients:-
  1. Whole Wheat Flour – 1½ Cups
  2. Bread Flour -1 Cup
  3. Baking powder – 1 tsp
  4. Baking soda – ½ tsp
  5. Salt – ½ tsp
  6. Overripe Bananas – 6 
  7. Brown Sugar/Sugar – 1 ½ Cups
  8. Eggs – 3 (at room temperature) 
  9. Melted Butter – ½ cup 
  10. Walnuts or Pecan or Any nuts roasted and chopped  - ½ Cup(I mostly add it but did not use it this time)
  11. Luke Warm Water – ½ Cup(only if required i.e. if batter is too think)

                                    
How I made It:-
  • Pre-heat the oven to 350 degree F.
  • Grease a bread tin or cake pan with butter or cooking spray
  • In a wide bowl add Wheat flour, bread flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Either sieve or mix very well with a wire whisk to remove lumps if any.
  • In another bowl, add the melted butter and sugar. Use a hand mixer or electric mix to beat them well until creamy.
  • Add Eggs one at a time beat well again till it becomes creamy.
  • Add quarter portion of the flour and blend well with a spatula or run the hand mixer in low speed. Keep adding the flour and blending them together.
  • Now grind or mash the bananas very well and add it to the batter little by little and  gently blend the whole mix till everything is incorporated well.
  • Pour into the pan and bake it for 40-45 minutes or until a tooth pick/tester inserted comes out clean.
  • Serve warm for breakfast or with a cup of coffee
