Wholewheat Spiced Banana Bread

I am crazy about bananas in my bakes. Unfortunately, this fruit does not last for much time in our pantry as my B and I just eat it up before it even ripens properly. Maybe that explains one of the reason why not many banana bakes get featured on this blog. Still for the love of it, some banana bakes that are already a part of the blog are:

Sharing with you another banana bread, that was really fudgy. This recipe was shared by Mrs. Prachi Agarwal, who runs the popular food sharing group called ChatniSonth on FB. The time she shared it, there were a few reasons that I really wanted to try this, definitely apart from the bananas – the spices and the ghee! I mean, using ghee instead of butter or oil was something that really pushed me to try it. And as though it was perfect fodder, I had some pure ghee that was about to expire in a week’s time – yep, I forgot about it completely and bought another dabba of ghee, leaving it in one corner of the pantry to peep into its “best before” date! I baked this the previous night and had it for breakfast. The slices were slight crumbly, but the bread was absolutely moist, mildly flavored and sweet… I really don’t remember how much of this bread was gobbled down by myself over the course of the day, as it was a weekend as well… 😉
