How do you make Banana Bread
This is a simple baking recipe.You don't need massive skills here.What you do need is a whisk(a fork would do in dire circumstances),2 big bowls,1 oven dish.
Prep
The first thing to do is preheat your oven.This is important otherwise your banana bread will come out lopsided.
Second thing is to line the oven dish.You can use a bread pan or a cake pan.Always line the pan with butter paper or parchment paper.
Batter
For this recipe, Start by mashing the bananas.Add eggs, oil, cream, vanilla extract and whisk them till combined.Add the Sugar after this and whisk.
In another bowl, measure and mix the flour, baking soda and salt.
Dump this in the wet mixture and give it a good mix.The batter is not super thick.It's slightly thicker than a smoothie.
Pour the batter in prepared pan.
Baking
Make sure the oven is preheated to 160 degrees C or 320 F. Place the pan with the batter inside the preheated oven in the middle rack.
How long to bake banana bread
Bake for 55-65 minutes till the skewer inserted comes out clean.
If baking in a loaf pan, the time to bake will probably by around 60-65 minutes but if you bake it in a cake pan, the time will be 55 minutes.It depends on the depth of the pan.
