Equipment

Ingredients
 
 

  • 150 grams unsalted butter at room temperature
  • 80 grams sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 190 grams all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tbsp cinnamon powder
  • 3 mashed bananas +1 banana for on top of the banana bread
  • 30 grams cashew nuts or nut mix
  • 60 grams dried cranberries
  • 50 grams mix of seeds (sunflower, pumpkin and pine nuts)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 180 ℃ (356 °F). Grease the cake tin and place a piece of parchment paper in the cake tin. 
  • Put the unsalted butter (at room temperature) and sugar together in a bowl and mix until creamy. If the butter is not at room temperature, you can also heat it for a while, so that no lumps form in the mix.

  • Pour the batter into the cake tin and bake for 40 to 50 minutes. Check the cake for doneness with a wooden stick. 

Notes

  • Overripe bananas are best for making banana bread, as they are sweeter and the fruit has broken down more, making for a softer texture. However, if you don't have overripe bananas, you can still use them. Just place the unpeeled bananas on a baking sheet and bake at 120°C (250°F) until they are soft about 15-20 minutes.
  • You can easily check if the banana bread is fully cooked by inserting a skewer in the center of the loaf. If the skewer comes out clean, then the bread is done.
  • Make sure that the butter you use is at room temperature, as this will ensure no lumps form in the mix. If the butter isn't quite there yet, you can heat it in the microwave for 30-60 seconds. Hope this helps!
