EGGLESS WHOLE WHEAT BANANA BREAD/ CAKE

 I love baking bread at home. So, made this Eggless Whole Wheat Banana Bread today. I wanted to try and make this bread more healthy without using all purpose flour and butter.  It is a soft, crumbly bread and your children will love this sweet healthy treat. Bit because we have used  whole wheat flour, it has milder flavour and pale color. This whole wheat banana bread brings warmth in the kitchen and it is perfect for sweet breakfast. Whole Wheat Banana Bread Eggless is moist and delicious and infused with sweet banana and choco chips. This recipe is very simple and easy to make.


While made without butter or all purpose flour, this 100% whole wheat banana bread tastes just as flavorful and moist as the regular banana bread. In this healthy banana bread recipe, swap butter with any vegetable, unflavoured oil and all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour, and if you want you can replace the refined sugar with honey/ jaggery powder. My whole wheat banana bread completely blew my mind. To be honest, I didn’t have high expectations. This loaf was merely a way to get rid of 2 overly ripe bananas. You can use frozen and thawed bananas in this recipe. I have earlier posted a recipe of Eggless Banana Bread with all purpose flour.


 This banana bread is wholesome, healthful & hearty. Its extra moist and not overly sweet, so the banana flavor shines. And it takes hardly 10 minutes preparation. This banana bread is very moist and because of bananas, it will stay at room temperature for only a day or two. But store it in the air tight container and keep in the refrigerator for up to a week.

INGREDIENTS:

2 ripe Banana

1/2 Cup Sugar

1 Cup Whole Wheat Flour

1/2 Cup Curd

1/2 Cup Milk 

1/4 Cup Vegetable Oil

1/2 tablespoon Corn Flour

NOTES - *Always add the remaining wet ingredients after you mash the bananas.

* Whisk the flour, corn flour, baking soda, baking powder, and then pour into the wet ingredients in batches.

*  I used dairy milk, but any milk fat is OK. Dairy/ nondairy milks work the same.

* The chocolate/ chocho chips are completely optional. Sometimes I add sliced nuts or raisins instead.

* Time may vary depending upon the brand of oven and ingredients. It may take 5-7 minutes less or more. So start checking it after 40 minutes.

* Remove from the oven and allow the bread to cool completely in the pan set on a wire rack before slicing and serving.

* Cover and store banana bread at room temperature for 2 days or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Banana bread tastes best on day 2 after the flavors have settled together.
