matcha banana bread recipe
1 stick of butter
3 ripe bananas
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup of white sugar
1 teaspoon of baking soda
1/2 teaspoon of salt
2 tablespoons matcha powder
1. preheat the oven to 350°F
2. line a metal loaf pan with parchment paper or grease with nonstick cooking spray and then set aside
3. add butter to a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high until melted
4. add bananas, eggs, and vanilla to the same bowl as the butter and mix until fully combined
5. in a separate bowl, mix the flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt until fully combined
6. mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and stir until just combined but do not overmix
7. divide the batter into two equal bowls
8. add matcha powder to one bowl and mix until the color is uniform
9. layer scoops of batter from each bowl into the metal loaf pan
10. once all the batter is in the metal loaf pan, swirl the batters together to create a marbling effect but do not overmix
11. place the metal loaf pan inside the preheated oven and bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean
12. let the matcha banana bread cool before serving and store covered for up to 3 days on the counter or 6 days in the refrigerator
