Have you ever had a situation when you have some old ripe bananas which you do not want to eat anymore but throwing away is not an option as well? Well, here is something you might be interested in. Banana bread. Basically a one bowl solution to the banana-problem where you may also utilize the rests of nuts as well:)
Ingredients:
3 bigger
bananas
2 eggs
3 heaped
tbsp white plain yoghurt
6 pitted dates
(can be more if you want it even sweeter)
2 tbsp rapeseed
oil (can be sunflower oil as well)
100g
hazelnut flour
100g
buckwheat flour
½ tsp
baking powder
100g poppy
seeds
Hazelnuts, sesam and
walnuts
Cinnamon or
mix of spices
In a blender
mix bananas, dates and eggs into a smooth puree. Add yoghurt and oil and mix
again. In a separate bowl mix all dry ingredients except hazelnuts and walnuts.
Add the dry ingredient into your banana mix and blend until well combined.
If the
mixture is too dry, add another egg or banana. The end texture should be quite wet
like a thicker yoghurt. Pour into the form. I use silicon forms, hence no
butter needed. If you don’t have silicon forms, then make sure you butter or
oil the form before to prevent sticking. Now is the time to put the nuts into
the bread. Just insert them all around your dough to spread them evenly. Sprinkle some sesam seed on top as well.
Bake in the
oven at 180 degrees for about 45 minutes until the top gets golden brown. You
can always check if it is baked through by sticking a wooden stick into the
center of the bread and if it comes out dry then you can turn off. Otherwise
give it more time.
Enjoy it plain or with any topping of your choice.
