    Just found another banana bread recipe to try out:

    Black banana cake

  • banana bread experiment

    To get rid of some ripe and mushy bananas*, I decided to bake some banana bread today.

    What I usually do is mix up a basic cake butter and then add 2-3 bananas to the batter. Today has been one big experiment ‘cos I didn’t have some of the ingredients. And I still don’t have a proper measurement jar. But that’s no reason to stop this bucket chemist.

    I’m still waiting to see what the results are like….


    [update]
    Banana bread tastes great… not sweet, lots of natural banana aroma, beautiful and moist. Experiment was a huge success!

    The Recipe:
    400 g flour
    150 g sugar
    1 packet of vanilla sugar (or some drops of vanilla essence)
    3 bananas
    2 teaspoons baking powder
    80 ml oil
    120 ml milk

    Mix everything together starting with the sugar and oil.

    Bake the whole thing very slowly at 150 degrees…

    I added water instead of milk, some cocoa powder, and lots more baking powder (i’m a bucket chemist, i believe in chemical reaction).

    *i hate eating ripe and mushy bananas. I’d rather throw them away. I used to feed my dogs the ripe bananas. But that was in Malawi where bananas are plentiful and cheaper.
