Eggless banana bread

Do not waste over ripe banana, they are great for baking a banana bread. I decided to try out an eggless and vegan recipe.  

Ingredients:

• 4 medium sized ripe banana
• 1 1/2 cup whole wheat flour (atta) or plain flour 
• 1/2 cup sunflower oil or vegetable oil
• 1/2 cup brown sugar or granulated sugar
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/4 tsp cinnamon powder
• 2-3 pinches nutmeg powder
• 1-2 tbsp sunflower seeds
• 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1 pinch of salt 

Method:

Preheat oven to 180°C/160°C for fan oven. Grease a bread tin load with some oil

Slice the banana into slices. Put into a mixing bowl with the sugar. Mash the banana well or puree them with a hand blender. Add the oil, vanilla, cinnamon powder, nutmeg powder to the banana and mix well.

Sieve the flour with baking soda, baking powder, salt directly into the bowl containing the mashed bananas. Fold the sieved flour really well. This folding step is important as you want the whole bread mixture to be one and mixed evenly. Lastly add the sunflower seeds and fold these. Pour the bread mixture into the loaf pan. 

Bake for 30-40 minutes or till a toothpick inserted in the bread comes out clean.  Let the banana bread cool down for 10 minutes then remove the banana bread from the pan to cool completely in the cooling rack before slicing into pieces.
