Banana bread Recipe

 Adapted from http://www.karencheng.com.au/2014/05/21/my-yummy-banana-bread/

I made a mistake by adding too much flour. So will definitely take note of the measurement next time. I also used toasted almond slices in the bread and also for the topping.

Banana Bread
75g of butter
2 medium eggs, at room temperature
450g ripe banana, weighed with skin on
2 tablespoons of maple syrup or honey (Or you can just omit the sugar altogether).
¼ teaspoon of bicarb soda
pinch of salt
100g chopped walnuts
Handful of sunflower seeds and pepitas
100g of self raising white flour
125g of almond meal.
1. Heat oven to 180ºC. Lightly grease a 11cm x 22cm loaf pan. Line the base and 2 long sides with baking paper.
2. Melt the butter and let it cool. Mix in maple syrup or sugar (if you’re using it).
3. Add eggs and combine well.
4. Mash the bananas and add it to the mixture.
5. Add the chopped walnuts. Give it all a good stir!
6. Sift in flour, bicarb soda and pinch of salt. Stir slowly until *just* combined.
7. Pour into the loaf tin. Sprinkle with seeds and pepitas. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and an inserted skewer comes out clean. Leave to stand for a few minutes then cool on wire rack.
