The recipe source was a combination of recipe from my friend Sheila and Krithi’s. This time I was determined to make it work. And it was magical to see the bread rise in the oven. Verdict on the end result, my DH exclaimed that it was better than any kind of banana walnut bread that he’s ever eaten. It was just smooth, melt in the mouth with perfect crust surrounding. I was so proud of my first successful bread baking adventure. This recipe is a keeper. BTW it was gone in two days. :o)
Prep Time: 15 min. | Cooking Time: 1 Hour. 15 min.
Ingredients:
All purpose flour/ Maida – 2 cups

Olive Oil – ½ cup
Eggs – 3
Vanilla extract – 1 tsp.
Yogurt (Beaten) – 1 Cup
Ripe bananas – 2 (1 cup)

Method of Preparation:
~ Toast the walnuts on a heated pan for few minutes. Allow it to cool and chop them coarsely.
~ Mash the bananas and keep it aside.
~ Preheat the oven to 325 F. (160 C). Apply the butter to grease all sides of the 9”x5” bread loaf pan and keep it ready.
~ In a bowl, mix flour, baking soda and salt.
~ Mix brown sugar and oil together in a separate bigger bowl.
~ Whisk in eggs one by one into this.

~ Now add half of dry flour mix and yogurt. Gently fold in and do not over mix. Add in all the remaining flour and yogurt and do the same.
