Banana Bread

HB-1219 · Hand-built original · Western

Banana Bread — the dish itself.
Served with its “pairs well with” suggestions: toast, hash browns, fruit salad, bacon, avocado.

Recipe above video. The wait is finally over! Crispy golden top, caramelised sides, and a soft crumb with big banana flavours that slices like a dream. Let’s go! Gluten free - It’s also nice made with gluten-free flour. Just use a good-quality gluten-free flour blend, replacing the regular flour in the same quantity. The texture is slightly different, with a slightly noticeable but not unpleasant grainy mouthfeel at the end, which is typical of gluten-free flour. For metric measurements, clic

Ingredients

  • 2 1/4 cups plain flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp fine salt
  • 1 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground allspice
  • 4 medium ripe bananas (about 14 oz peeled), mashed to a purée
  • 1 tightly packed cup (7 oz) brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs plus 1 egg yolk, at room temperature
  • 1/3 cup sour cream
  • 2¾ oz unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Method

  1. Heat the oven to 350°F. Grease and line a 9 x 5 in loaf tin with baking paper, leaving an overhang for lifting the loaf out.
  2. Whisk the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and allspice together in a large bowl.
  3. In a second bowl, whisk the mashed banana, brown sugar, eggs and yolk, sour cream, melted butter, oil and vanilla until well combined.
  4. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and fold together with a spatula until only just combined — a few small lumps are fine, but do not overmix.
  5. Scrape the batter into the tin and level the top. Bake for 65–70 minutes until risen, deep golden, and a skewer pushed into the centre comes out clean.
  6. Cool in the tin for 15 minutes, then lift out and cool on a rack for at least 45 minutes before slicing.
