Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 180C/350°F Grease a 23x13x7 cm loaf tin. Peel and mash the bananas and mix them with the lemon juice.
- Sift together the cake flour, baking powder and salt, in a fairly large mixing bowl. Add the sugar and nuts and mix. Beat the egg yolks and add them to the flour mixture with the butter or margarine. Mix lightly.
- Add the banana pulp and lemon rind and mix well.
- Beat the egg whites until just stiff, and fold them lightly into the batter with a metal spoon.
- Spoon the batter into the tin, level it off, and sprinkle more nuts on top if desired. (I sprinkle some brown sugar on top).
- Bake on the middle shelf of the oven for 60 minutes. Test with a skewer to see if done: if the skewer comes out clean, the loaf is ready; if it does not, bake for a further 10 to 15 minutes.
- Allow the loaf to cool slightly in the tin. Turn it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Tips:
- Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your banana nut bread will be.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make your banana nut bread tough.
- Use a variety of nuts: You can use any kind of nuts you like in your banana nut bread, but walnuts, pecans, and almonds are all popular choices.
- Add some spices: Spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger can add a warm and cozy flavor to your banana nut bread.
- Bake the bread until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This will ensure that the bread is cooked through.
Conclusion:
Banana nut bread is a classic quick bread that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its moist and flavorful crumb, and the addition of nuts, it's a delicious snack or breakfast treat. Try experimenting with different types of nuts and spices to create your own unique banana nut bread recipe.
