Banana Bread with Sultanas

04 Feb Banana Bread with Sultanas

Banana Bread with sultanas or plain banana bread is our family comfort dessert. Every time we have some ripe banana, we will do bread, cupcakes, or pancakes. 

This recipe is straightforward; you have to add all the listed ingredients and mix it with a hand beater. For me is a perfect occasion to bake with my kid, who wants to be all hands over the batter. 

Ingredients:

• brown sugar
• unsalted butter
• egg
• bananas
• buttermilk
• flour
• baking powder
• baking soda
• powder cinnamon
• powder cloves
• sultanas

Frequently Asked Questions about Banana Bread with Sultanas 

1. What can I do if I don’t have ripe bananas? You can add two more tablespoons of sugar to the batter. But a perfect trick is that every time you have ripe bananas, just smash them and freeze them in bags of one or two bananas. So, you only let them out of the fridge for a couple of hours and add to any recipe. 
2. Do I have to use buttermilk? Yes, is much better, but if you are in a rush and don’t have buttermilk, you can add the same amount of evaporated milk. I have done this before, and it is almost the same. (we don’t have buttermilk in Peru)
