Ingredients
- 3 ripe bananas, mashed (about 1 1/2 cups)
- 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 large egg, at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup lager or wheat beer, at room temperature
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon fine salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground cardamom
- 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
Method
- Heat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan and line it with a parchment sling.
- In a large bowl, whisk the mashed bananas, brown sugar, egg, and vanilla until well combined. Pour in the beer and stir gently — the batter will foam.
- In a second bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, cardamom, and allspice.
- Add the dry ingredients to the banana mixture and stir with a spatula just until no dry flour remains. Do not overmix.
- Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
- Bake for 55 to 60 minutes, until the loaf is risen and deep golden and a tester inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then lift out and cool on a rack for at least 30 minutes before slicing.
