Banana Bread with Pecan Nuts and White Chocolate
I make Banana Bread very often but almost all the time is nut free due to school restrictions. Considering that these days the kids are learning at home, I thought of baking for their snacks a soft, yummie banana bread with plenty of pecans and white chocolate chips. If you might not have pecans in the house, walnuts are a perfect substitute. Same with the white chocolate, if you might have dark or milk chocolate, it's perfect. Let's start baking!
Ingredients for 1 Banana Bread (around 12 servings):
- 250 gr. flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp vanilla seeds or extract
- 3 medium eggs
- 100 gr. sugar
- 100 ml. vegetable oil (I use sunflower for its neutral flavor)
- 400 gr. mashed bananas (3 large bananas or 4 medium)
- 100 gr. chopped pecan nuts/walnuts (or a mix of them)
- 100 gr. chopped white chocolate
- 10 gr. room temperature butter for greasing
Method:
- Preheat oven at 160'C.
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt, baking soda and baking powder.
- Put the eggs with the sugar, oil and vanilla extract in another bowl and whisk well.
- Mash the bananas with a fork.
- Transfer the mashed bananas over the egg mix and stir. Add the flour mix and incorporate well.
- Next, add the chopped pecans and the white chocolate. Mix everything together.
- Take a loaf pan and grease it well with the butter. Pour the Banana Bread mixture in the pan and pop in the oven for around 1 hour and 15 min.
- After 1h and 15 min, check with a matchstick or a skewer if the bread is ready (should come out clean). If not, leave for 5 more min.
- Take the Banana Bread out of the oven and leave to cool for 15-20 min in the loaf pan. After this time you can take out the bread, leave to cool completely and enjoy!
