Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup bananas mashed ((2 big or 3 medium bananas))
  • ¾ cup Brown Sugar
  • ½ cup Coconut Oil
  • ¾ cup Yogurt (Plain Greek yogurt or Indian curd)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup Whole wheat flour
  • 1 teaspoon Baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon Baking soda
  • 2 teaspoon Vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon Salt
  • ½ teaspoon Cinnamon powder
  • ⅛ teaspoon Nutmeg
  • ¾ cup Coarsely chopped walnuts
  • 1 cup Blueberries

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 0F and prepare the loaf pan by greasing and dusting with flour.
  • Peel the bananas and mash well with a fork. Switch to a hand mixer or stand mixer and beat the bananas well. More ripe the bananas are, the better the bread will be.
  • Measure sugar and add to the beaten bananas and beat them together for 2-3 minutes.
  • Add the measured oil to the mixture and beat until well combined.
  • Now add the yogurt and beat well.
  • Add your choice of vanilla favoring. I am using pure vanilla extract here.
  • In another bowl, mix all the dry ingredients. Start by adding all-purpose flour and whole wheat flour. Then add a measured quantity of salt, baking powder, baking soda, Cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  • Now mix all the dry ingredients thoroughly. ( You can also sift the flour and all the dry ingredients if have lumps in your baking powder or something else).
  • Add dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and mix well.
  • Add and mix blueberries into the mixture.
  • Pour the batter into the loaf pan.
  • Top with the chopped walnuts.
  • Bake for 50-55 minutes or until the toothpick inserted in the center of the loaf comes out clean.
  • Let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes and then take out on to a cooling rack. Leave on the rack until fully cooled.
  • Serve with your favorite icing and refrigerate the remaining.

Notes

For storing Banana Bread
  • Always let the bread cool completely before storing it. The moisture left in an uncooled bread can accumulate inside the cling wrap film and lead to mound growth. So, the thumb rule is to let this beauty rest until it is completely cooled.
  •  If you intend to consume it within 3-4 days, no need to refrigerate it. Just cover in a cling wrap and place in an airtight container or a zip lock bag in a cool dry place.
  • The banana bread can be refrigerated well for 6-7 days. Just cling wrap it, cover in aluminum foil, and into an airtight container or simply place in a zip lock bag. Press the bag to remove the excess air. The bread will stay nice and moist for a week in your fridge.
  • Banana bread is also known to freeze well up to 2 months. Make sure to multiple covers it with cling wrap, double wrap with aluminum foil, and then into the ziplock freezer bags or if you have the luxury of space in your freezer, let it rest peacefully in a freezer-safe container.
