Wholemeal Banana Bread

I always feel it isn’t necessary to make something fresh for breakfast like the Muhalla or the Capsicum Olive Omelette, for the Blogging Marathon #93 theme I chose for this week, “Easy Breakfast”. I am somebody who loves to bake something and keep ready for breakfast at times, be it on weekdays or even better, for weekends. This Wholemeal Banana Bread perfectly fits the bill for a delicious and healthy breakfast without much effort in the morning!

This recipe appeared on the King Arthur site as the recipe for 2018. I love their website and refer it to a lot of times for perfect recipes. So I was sure that this bread would be a winner too. I hardly made changes to the recipe – used wholemeal flour for baking it, reduced the sugar a tad bit and used a mix of oil and butter, since I feel it makes the moisteness of the bread even better. It is a one-bowl recipe and just needs a whisk and a spatula as equipment, so what more! It comes together so easily and gets ready while you settle down the home to call it a day. If you love banana bread, give it a try. You will thank yourself for that extra half an hour of sleep in the morning! 😉
