All time Favoriten BananaBread ♡

[Jamelilena]

3 banana(s), very ripe (the darker the better), about 300 g
200 g whole wheat flour, alternatively rye flour, white flour, spelled flour
n. B. Cinnamon powder (approx. 1/2 - 1 tsp)
100 g apple, grated, or applesauce without sugar
½ pack of baking powder
2 egg(s)
50 g walnuts, chopped, alternatively almonds, hazelnuts

Peel the apple, core it and grate it finely (alternatively you can use applesauce to which no sugar has been added). Peel the bananas, add them to the apple and mash them well. Now beat with the two eggs until foamy.

Mix the flour, baking powder and cinnamon, add to the banana-apple-egg porridge and mix briefly but well. Finally, fold in the chopped walnuts and pour everything into a greased loaf pan. The larger the shape, the flatter the bread.

Now bake in a hot oven at 180 °C top/bottom heat for about 45 minutes. Do a stick test.

The bread rises well in the oven, but collapses a little when it cools down (like cheesecake, for example). The dough remains rather "schlonzig", i.e. more compact than, for example, B. Cake dough. Be sure to let it cool thoroughly before cutting! Baked like this, one of 12 pieces has around 127 kcal. The entire bread then has approx. 1524 kcal.

Tips: The bread lasts for about a week in a tin and, in my opinion, tastes even better when cooked than fresh. Freezing also works very well.
If you like it lukewarm, you can simply put the slices in the microwave again before eating.

Variants: You can also bake the dough in a springform pan or in a muffin tin (if necessary, adjust the baking times slightly) and enjoy it as a cake. If the dough is not sweet enough, you can e.g. B. help with honey or syrup.
After the bread has cooled down, you can also use it as desired, e.g. B. cover it with couverture, then it has even more cake character.
Chocolate chips in the dough also work very well, but then it is of course less healthy.
If you prefer to bake with fat, you can replace the apple (which replaces the fat here) with 60 ml of oil or 80 g of butter.
Due to its composition, the bread is ideal as a birthday cake for small children or as a snack on the go, as there is no additional fat or sugar in the dough, making the bread very nutritious but also very tasty.

I usually bake it according to the recipe and eat it lukewarm with a thin layer of chocolate cream.
