Banana Bread Recipe
Our dear neighbour Ivy passed me a big bunch of Raja bananas from her garden this morning. She is one nice kind lady and so I decided to use it to make banana bread and shared with her. Googled for a recipe and going to keep this so that I can refer to in future.
Ingredients
Preheat oven to 170°C. Grease and flour (or line with parchment paper) an 8x4 loaf pan.
Combine flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon in a small bowl. Whisk to combine.
With a hand mixer on medium, combine sugar, butter and shortening in a medium bowl until fluffy. Add eggs and mix well. Stir in mashed bananas.
Add dry ingredients and mix just until combined. Toss nuts with remaining tablespoon of flour and fold into batter.
Pour into prepared loaf pan and top with topping. Combine topping ingredient and sprinkle over loaf.
Bake 50 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Do not overbake.
Cool in the pan 5 minutes. Remove from pan and cool completely on a rack.
