BANANA CHOCOLATE WHOLE WHEAT LOAF

BANANA CHOCOLATE WHOLE WHEAT LOAF WITH WALNUTS AND CHOCOCHIPS

Who doesn't have overripe bananas at home. This comes out as a perfect recipe for utilising those bananas and the whole wheat adds to the health quotient. Both my daughters love cakes and this serves as a perfect recipe as both of them love the mushiness of bananas and the crunch that walnuts and chocochips add to it. I love baking it often as I don’t  have to worry about feeding them  maida cakes. So get ready to bake this whole wheat banana cake.

TASTE BHI HEALTH BHI :))

INGREDIENTS

Whole wheat flour(aata)  1 1/2 cup
Baking powder  1 tb sp

METHOD

1.Grease & dust a loaf tin & keep aside.

2. Sieve whole wheat flour, baking powder, cocoa powder, cinnamon powder & salt thrice.
3. Put bananas in the mixer to make a puree.
4. Add milk & sugar to it. I used granulated sugar so I put it in the mixer so that it dissolves completely.
5.  Add vanilla essence.
6. Take this banana milk sugar in a bowl. Add oil to it. Mix.
7.  Add baking soda. Mix
8.  Slowly add the dry ingredients to it & mix lightly with hand till everything gets incorporated.
9.  Add dusted chocochips & walnuts to the batter. Keep some aside to sprinkle on top.
10.  Bake in a preheated oven at 180 degrees for 45 minutes or till the skewer comes out clean.
11.  I checked first after 30 minutes then again after 10 minutes & finally baked for another 5 minutes to get my perfectly done  banana chocolate whole wheat loaf.

NOTES

1.       Sieve the ingredients nicely three to four times.

2.       You can increase the amount of sugar a little, if you prefer extra sweetness. For our family this ratio turns out perfect. When using granulated sugar, first measure it according to the recipe, then grind it.

3.       Dust the walnuts and chocochips nicely so that they don’t sink to the bottom. You can omit walnuts and chocochips too if you don't prefer them.

4.        Mix the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients only till everything comes together. Overmixing will alter the cakes texture as it contains whole wheat. 

SO WHAT ARE YOU WAITING GET READY TO BAKE YOUR OWN  BANANA CHOCOLATE WHOLE WHEAT LOAF AND ENJOY WITH YOUR EVENING CUP OF TEA.
