I made this because my mom was drooling over this Banana-Walnut-Bread-looking stuff at Costco the other day. But these mass produced pastries are generally very sweet. I’m talking about the kind that when you bite into it your mouth starts burning. Sweetness is relative, not absolute. When you gradually eat less sweet, you can taste the sweetness better. Plus, it’s healthier and less calories. Here is my take on a ½ sugar banana walnut bread.
A Ingredients 1 ¾ cup
Sugar 1 cup
Baking powder 2 teaspoon
Baking soda ½ teaspoon
Salt ¼ teaspoon
B Ingredients
Butter, slight soften 1/3 cup
Mashed banana 3 banana
Honey 2 tablespoon
Milk 2 tablespoon
Walnuts ¼ cup
C Ingredients
Rolled oats ¼ cup
Brown sugar 2 tablespoon
Ground cinnamon 1/8 teaspoon
Butter, chilled 1 tablespoon
Walnuts 2 tablespoon
Directions:
1. Preheat oven 350°F/180°C。Cut a piece of parchment paper big enough to cover the bottom of a loaf pan and comes up on both long sides, spray with cooking spary.
2. Measure all A ingredients into a mixing bowl.
3. Cream the butter in a mixing bowl, add the mashed banana, honey, and milk in batches, beat until blended.
4. Add A ingredients in 3 batches, fold into butter mixture with a rubber spatula, do not over mix. Stir in the walnuts last, then pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
5. Place all C Ingredients, except the walnuts, into a mixing bowl, cut the butter into the mix until the mixture resembled coarse crumbs, then stir in walnuts. Srinkle on top of prepared batter to create a streusel topping.
6. Bake in the oven 55-55 minutes, until stick inserted into center comes out clean. Remove from oven, let cool 15 minutes. Pull the bread loaf out of the loaf pan by pulling the excess parchment paper, place onto wire rack, remove the parchment paper, let cool 15 more minutes before slicing.
Serving: 1 loaf
