Long CNY break - excellent time to try out a new recipe. Did this banana loaf using the recipe from Amy Beh's column in the STAR. Easy to do and yummy to eat. I loved the almonds especially. The recipe was tripled to get 2 loaves of this size, with baking time taking almost an hour.
Recipe for mini loaves:
50 g butter
60 g canola / sunflower oil
105 g soft brown sugar
2 eggs
½ teaspoon vanilla essence
150 g banana, mashed (3 – 4)
20 g ground almonds
200 g superfine flour
¾ tsp baing powder
¼ tsp bicarbonate of soda
30 g sultanans
2 tbsp milk
- preheat oven 170 degrees celceus
- beat butter + oil + sugar + essence until creamy
- add eggs one at a time, beat well after each addition
- mix in mashed banbas + ground almonds + sultanas
- sift in flour, baking powder and bicarbonate to combine; add in milk but do not overmix
- spoon mixture into loave pans until ¾ fulls.
- garnish with almond flakes
- bake 20 – 25 mins
