BANANA BREAD

August 14, 2015 By ashavenugopal Leave a Comment

It has always intrigued me as to why banana bread is called so. The ingredients seem similar to those one would use for a banana cake. Furthermore i haven’t come across any recipe with yeast which is usually used in bread making. The only connect i have figured out is that banana bread is made in a loaf tin giving it a bread like appearance. Anyway what is in a name so long as it tastes good.

This recipe has been adapted from Modern cookery by Thangam Philip- a pioneer of hospitality education in India. Even she calls it banana bread!

Banana bread

This is a simple recipe. Of course, it does have some beating and mixing but it is the beating of the sugar, butter and eggs gives the banana bread a light texture. If you decide to do away with the beating and mix it all together you will get a dense and moist texture. So the choice is yours!
