ALL PURPOSE FLOUR: 2 CUPS
SUGAR: 2/3 CUP
BAKING POWDER: 2 1/4 Tsp.
SALT: 3/4th Tsp
EGG: 1 LARGE
MILK: 3/4th CUP

Banana-Almond Bread


MAKING

In a bowl, combine Flour, Sugar, Baking powder and Salt. Mix well. In another bowl, blend Oil, Egg, Milk and Vanilla Extract. Add this to the Flour mix until it is moistened. Finally combine the mashed ripe Banana and the chopped Almonds to the above and mix them thoroughly.

Grease a 9 by 5 inch loaf pan and pour in the above Banana-Almond Mix and bake it for 45 mins- 1 hour at 350'F. Keep checking at constant intervals to make sure, insert a knife to see if its cooked. If the knife comes out clean that means the Bread is ready. Allow it to cool for 10 mins and then cut them into slices and delicious Banana-Almond Bread is ready to eat. Serve it warm with fresh or whipped cream.

TIPS?VARIATIONS

Instead of Almonds, you can do the same with Walnuts. This bread is not too sweet and it has the consistency of a bread so don't expect it to be too moist and fluffy like a cake. You could also pour the mix into a cupcake pan and make cupcakes out of it. It wont be your typical cupcake but its still good, most of all its healthy and my kids loved it.
