Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pieces ripe bananas
- 115 grams unsalted butter
- 150 grams granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 200 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons poppy seeds
- 2 tablespoons milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and grease or line a 9x5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth using a fork or potato masher.
Melt the unsalted butter and allow it to cool slightly. Add the melted butter to the mashed bananas and mix well.
Stir in the granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and poppy seeds.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined. Do not overmix.
Finally, stir in the milk to loosen the batter and ensure it is smooth and pourable.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the loaf from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve your poppy banana loaf on its own or with a spread of butter. Enjoy!
