Hello lovely people!
I hope you all had an amazing start to 2015 and have a rocking, prosperous year ahead. =)
We had a small family get-together at my grandparents' place for ringing in the new year. Like a typical punjabi family, it was all about food, gupshup and dance. :D
I made this banana bread again. It is a quick snack to gobble down while you dance. HA! ( who says it can't be a snack? :P )
Here is my ever so gooey, healthy, heart warming and oh-so-easy to make banana bread. Make this to mark the start of 2015 and I promise you won't be disappointed.
Give it a try today, and do not forget to tell me how it turns out. You can serve it warm with caramel sauce or vanilla ice cream and make a proper dessert. It will be a tasty, soft and sweet end to any meal. *not healthy anymore, though :P*
Enjoy!
Love,
Kavya :)
Ingredients-
1/2 cup normal salted butter
1 cup sugar ( brown or white )
1.5 cups whole wheat flour
2 large eggs
3/4 cup oats (used Quaker oats, uncooked)
2-3 pinch cinnamon pd/ nutmeg grated
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 cup sour cream ( I used malai with a tsp of vinegar added to it.)
3 medium sized ripe bananas, mashed well
Dry roasted melon seeds (optional)
Tips-
Make sure the eggs are at room temperature.
If the eggs are small, use 3 numbers.
Use softened butter. If its hard, microwave for 10-15 seconds. Do not melt.
Do not skip adding the vinegar if using regular cream. It activates the baking soda.
Method-
*Pre-heat oven to 170 degrees celcius. Grease a baking pan.
*Sieve the flour and baking soda. Do not discard the bran. Add it back to the flour.
*Cream butter and sugar well, till light and mixed well.
*Add the eggs and beat gently to incorporate.
*Add the flour+ soda mix. Also add the cinnamon/ nutmeg.
*Mix gently. Add the bananas and the sour cream.
*Add in the oats. Mix.
*Pour into the tin. Tap the tin onto the shelf 3-4 times. Top the batter with melon seeds.
*Bake for approx 30 min, checking for doneness with a fork/ knife at the center.
