Egg-Free Banana Bread

Submitted by Indian Chef

"Primarily a vegetarian, I like to bake cakes and breads without using eggs and am always on the look out for good eggless recipes. During one of my Googling sessions, I stumbled upon an egg-free banana bread/cake recipe. However, when I tried it out the bread came out hard and sank badly. So I improvised and here's my banana bread recipe for those of you who can't eat or don't like to eat eggs. I hope you enjoy it!"

 

• Ready In: 50mins
• Ingredients: 9
• Serves: 4

ingredients

• 2 ripe medium sized bananas
• 4 tablespoons oil (I use vegetable oil)
• 1⁄3 cup granulated sugar (if you prefer sweet bread, use 1/2 cup sugar)
• 3⁄4 cup flour
• 1⁄2 cup cold milk
• 1⁄2 teaspoon sea salt (or iodized salt)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla essence
• 1⁄2 cup nuts, of your choice chopped mixed (optional)
• 1⁄2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)

directions

1. Peel and mash bananas well. Set aside.
2. Sift all the dry ingredients together at least 2 times.
3. Add oil, vanilla, sugar to the mashed bananas and mix well.
4. Add the banana mixture to the flour mix.
5. Slowly add milk to make a batter of thick consistency.
6. Add nuts at this point. Mix together gently.
7. Pour banana bread batter in a greased loaf pan and bake in a preheated oven at 150 deg.C for 35-40 mins or until toothpick comes out clean from the center.
8. Cool for 5-10 minutes in the loaf pan, remove to a cooling rack to cool properly and serve slices.

Had good flavor, but the temp and length of cook time were way off. its says 150C which converts to 302F. I cooked the bread for almost 1 hr and 15 mins. The bread didn't raise at all, and inside of bread was a gooy pudding type feeling. Will never make this bread again.
