I am super stoked to tell you about a prize I won. I had submitted my Baked Mishti Doi recipe to Chinet's Bakeoff Contest on Facebook and it was selected as one of the weekly winners. I received an email about it, but I had no hopes of receiving a prize. I received another email last week saying there was some kind of delay with the shipping and that the prize would reach me by the end of the week, and it did. A FedEx guy knocked at my door at 6.30 PM on Friday, with this box and I was like, wow, this is really happening. And the prize…a set of Chinet's use and throw bake ware and an apron.
Coming to today's recipe, I had a couple of overripe bananas in the fridge and wanted to use them up. This banana bread is what came to my mind first.
Ingredients
Whole wheat flour – 1 ½ cups
Baking powder – 1 ½ tsps
Honey – ½ cup (or to taste)
Coconut milk – ¾ cup
Mashed bananas – 1 heaped cup
Cardamom powder – 1 tsp
Olive oil – 4-5 tbsps
Flax seeds - 1 ½ tbsps (optional)
Raisin Bran Cereal - 3-4 tbsps (optional)
Flax seeds - 1 ½ tbsps (optional)
Raisin Bran Cereal - 3-4 tbsps (optional)
A pinch of salt
Method
Preheat the oven to 350oF.
Mix all the dry ingredients in a bowl (flour, baking powder, salt, flax seeds, and cardamom powder). Mix the wet ingredients (honey, oil, coconut milk, mashed bananas) separately and then fold into the dry mix. I wanted to add raisins but realized that I did not have any. And then I had an idea...why not add some cereal. I mixed a couple of tablespoons of the raisin bran cereal to the batter and sprinkled the remaining on top.
Blend well and pour into a greased bread pan or any baking dish you like. Bake it for 30-35 minutes or until done. Slice and serve. Bon Appétit.
