I have been in the United States for nine months, enough time to know how good some American recipes are. I like cupcakes, bagels, brownies, chocolate chip cookies, macaroni and cheese and cheesecakes, but there is something that I could not live without. It's the famous and delicious homemade banana bread. It's one of the easiest things to make, even from scratch, and I think I have a perfect recipe that I recommend everyone tries at least once.
Here is the list of ingredients that you need:
4 bananas, 3 gr of baking soda, 120 gr of butter, 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon, 200 gr of flour, 6 gr of baking powder, lemon juice, a pinch of salt, 2 eggs, 120 gr of sugar.
Start the recipe by smashing the bananas in a bowl and squishing them with a fork. Add some lemon juice, so they won't turn brown while you mix the other ingredients. In a different bowl, mix sugar and butter with an electric mixer and once you get an homogeneous mixture, add the two eggs and a pinch of salt and keep mixing them together. At this point, you can transfer the bananas to this second bowl, which should be a little bit bigger than the first one, and add the dry ingredients (flour, baking soda and baking powder). Amalgamate your dry ingredients with the banana mixture until well blended and finally add 1/2 of a teaspoon of cinnamon to give a delicate flavor to your banana bread. Put your batter in a ceramic cake pan and bake it for 60 minutes at 350 F.
You can serve it when it's warm or lightly cold, but it's definitely better when it's still warm and soft.
Enjoy!
