[recipe + video] Matcha Banana Loaf

I simply love to explore different recipe using banana as one of the ingredients. Recently I made this hassle free Matcha Banana Loaf using the last two overripe banana that I had in the pantry together with my favourite matcha powder. Furthermore the steps are easy to follow as it requires only mix and stir before you pop the batter into the oven.



MATCHA BANANA LOAF
(抹茶香蕉面包)


You can have the loaf on its own or lightly toast it then serve with a slab of butter or even ice-cream. Oh ya since this is a stir and mix method, do not tends to over mix the batter or else the texture will be tough and chewy. 

Watch how we made this delicious Matcha Banana Loaf.


Recipe adapted from DIETITIAN, Matcha Banana Muffin here.

(Yield: 2 (6x2x2") loaf | Preparation: 10 minutes | Cooking: 40 minutes)

5. Divide batter into muffin cups or loaf pan, bake in 180°C (356°F) oven for 40 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the center and comes out clean (or 25 minutes for muffin).


香蕉面包最简单的做法就是直接将含有香蕉泥的湿材料和面粉材料混合在一起搅拌均匀。这样的方法非常直接,不会太过复杂所以就连小朋友也可以学做。抹茶香蕉面包做出来的口感松软还带着香蕉和抹茶的清香味。

(分量:2个(6x2x2")模具   | 准备: 10分钟   | 烘烤时间: 40分钟)

干材料:
250g自发面粉
2 - 3 茶匙抹茶粉
120克砂糖

160 -180ml牛奶
1颗鸡蛋(约60克)
280克香蕉泥(约1.5条大香蕉)
60ml油或熔化牛油
1/2茶匙香草精

2. 接着另一个碗将香蕉和鸡蛋用叉子搅拌均匀直到香蕉变泥状。

3. 然后加香草精和油中搅拌,再倒入一半的牛奶。

4. 将湿材料倒入面粉中再慢慢搅拌和加剩余的牛奶拌到没有面粉的痕迹(如果面糊太水你可能不需要所有的牛奶)。

UPDATES & TIPS
(on 09 September 2017)


Made another batch of Matcha Banana Loaf to test the recipe again after receiving some feedback from readers. Most of them face a common issue where their loaf turns out to be dense and gluey. Although I am not very sure what might be the caused but out of all the 3 tests using the recipe above mine turns out to be fine with well raise and airy texture.

Cross-section of the slice
So below are some tips which I hope it will be useful for those attempting the recipe.
Tips:
- if your loaf is dense and gluey it might be due to over mixed of the batter;

- wet ingredients might not be fully mixed before adding into to the dry ingredients;

- type of flour used might affect the texture (please follow with self-raising flour);

- control the amount of milk added into the batter as it should not be too runny.
