Banana Bread

I am so happy today that I have reaches a milestone today in less than 6 months of blogging..Yes! this is my 100th post..THought of celebrating it with this sweet banana bread..This blog is something close to my heart..Entering into the kitchen after marriage knowing nothing about cooking,this blogosphere has made me what I am now..It has helped me develop a passion for cooking..I thank my fellow bloggers for all support and encouragement thry have given me..

Now going to the banana bread..I adopted this recipe from dear Raaga's blog..I like making banana breads as they are fool proof and does not need any kneading,raising stuff..I had some overripe bananas waiting to be used up..Here goes my recipe with a little variation from Raaga's.I reduced the amount of sugar and added some dried cranberries.I also replaced one egg with some milk and oil.I got a fluffy,soft and moist bread..



Ingredients

Bananas -3 or 4
All Purpose flour/maida - 1 cup
Whole wheat flour - 3/4 cup
Egg - 1
Baking powder - 2 teaspoons
Baking soda - 1/2 teaspoon
Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
Brown Sugar - 1/2 cup
Dried cranberries - 3 teaspoons
Milk - 1/4 cup
Oil - 1/2 cup

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees..

Sieve the flour,baking powder,baking soda and salt together..
In another vessel, whisk together the egg,brown sugar,milk and oil..Add the liquid ingredients to the dry flour mixture and stir well until all the ingredients combine together..Stir in the dried cranberries..

 

Pour the dough into a greased and floured loaf pan and bake for about 30 minutes or until browned..

Allow it to cool before slicing.

And I have decided to take up the NaBloPoMo challenge this month...So you will be seeing my recipes everyday this month..So look forward to my recipes..
