Notes
Notes: To make an eggless version. Replace eggs with 1 tablespoon vinegar, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and half a cup of milk.
Other Tips:
- Take care not to over mix the batter. Overmixing hampers the texture.
- Add one cup of dark chocolate chips or half a cup of nuts of your choice (walnuts give a unique taste and go very well with the banana bread) for a different variation.
- Using brown sugar gives a more caramelized taste - just another option.
- Replace semolina with wholemeal flour with this. Equally mix wholemeal flour such as buckwheat flour or ragi flour in the all-purpose flour for a wholesome version of the banana bread.
