Ingredients

Banana Bread:

  • Bananas 255g (Ripe bananas pls!)
  • Unsalted Butter 40g
  • Grapeseed Oil 34g
  • Light Brown Sugar 133g (can use white sugar but light brown sugar is recommended)
  • Whole Egg 48g
  • Sour Cream 35g (or plain yoghurt)
  • Vanilla Extract a few drops
  • All-purpose flour 205g
  • Cinnamon powder 1.2g
  • Baking soda 3.4g
  • Salt a pinch
  • Walnuts 45g (optional but recommended)
  • Raisins 45g (optional but recommended)

Neutral Glaze Recipe

Whipped Cream:

  • 100g Heavy cream
  • 10g Sugar
  • 10g Mascarpone cheese (optional)

Instructions

  1. Mash the bananas
  2. In a bowl add the banana, melted butter, oil, sugar, egg, sour cream, and whisk.
  3. Sift in the flour, cinnamon powder, baking soda, salt, walnuts, and raisins.
  4. (pre-heat 160℃) 160℃ for 50mins~1hr. You MUST adjust baking temp/time due to the difference in the pan size.
  5. Optional: Homemade neutral glaze & slices of banana
  6. Note: Applying the neutral glaze will make the applied surface sticky – the neutral glaze is meant to be sticky.
  7. Personally, I prefer wrapping the banana bread in cling film and storing it at room temp to serve the next day for optimal tenderness.

Quickly ripen bananas:

Put the banana into a paper bag with an apple inside. Check back after half a day and leave it longer if not ripe enough.
Another super quick way would be to bake unpeeled bananas at 150℃ (pre-heat 150℃) for 15~30mins. The banana will turn black but that’s ok.

Whipped Cream

  • Add everything to a bowl, and whip to the desired consistency.

  • Yield: 2 x mid-sized pound cake pans (15cm x 7cm x 6cm, somewhere around 700ml in volume)

 

Notes

How to store / Shelf life

Air-tight container for 3 days at room temp. It’s possible to store it in the freezer for up to 2wks.

Baking time/temp

Everyone uses different-sized pans – so adjust baking time & temperature. I’ve explained in the video “how to check” if your banana bread is baked well. My advice is to stick to 160℃ and adjust the time first - if it takes too long to bake even after extending the time then raise the temp by 10~15℃. (I know my suggested baking temperature is lower compared to a lot of those recipes out there – I prefer baking at a lower temp for longer)
