Banana Bread Recipe | Moist, Soft and Easy

Banana Bread with Sugar-Lemon Glaze
Ingredients:
For the Banana Bread:
• 2 large ripe bananas
• 2 tbsp (30g) sour cream
• 2 large eggs
• 1 ½ tsp vanilla essence
• 2 cups (200g) sifted flour
• ¾ cup (170g) sugar
• 1 tsp baking soda
• ¾ tsp baking powder
• A pinch of salt
• 142g (10 tbsp) unsalted butter or ghee, softened
• Optional:
• ½ cup chopped and roasted walnuts
• 1-2 tbsp raisins (or substitute with chocolate chips)
For the Sugar-Lemon Glaze:
• ½ cup (100g) powdered sugar (icing sugar)
• 1-2 tbsp fresh lemon juice (adjust for consistency)
Method:
1. Prepare the Wet Ingredients:
• In a large bowl, mash the bananas.
• Add sugar and whisk lightly.
• Add softened butter or ghee and mix until well combined.
• Add eggs one at a time, mixing after each addition.
• Stir in vanilla essence and set aside.
2. Prepare the Dry Ingredients:
• In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
• Using a whisk attachment on a stand mixer or a hand electric whisk, mix the dry ingredients on low speed (around setting 3).
3. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
• Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients.
• Start by adding a small portion, mix for a few seconds, then continue adding in stages.
• Mix until just combined-do not overmix.
4. Add Optional Ingredients:
• If using walnuts, raisins, or chocolate chips, gently fold them into the batter.
5. Bake the Banana Bread:
• Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F).
• Grease a rectangular baking tin and line it with baking paper.
• Pour the batter into the prepared tin.
• Bake for 40-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
6. Prepare the Sugar-Lemon Glaze:
• In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar and 1 tbsp of lemon juice.
• If the glaze is too thick, add a little more lemon juice, a few drops at a time, until it reaches a smooth, pourable consistency.
7. Cool, Glaze & Serve:
• Let the banana bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
• Drizzle the sugar-lemon glaze over the cooled banana bread.
• Let it set for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
