Super Simple & Healthy Banana Bread
Make Healthy Banana Bread Without Flour
Hello everyone! Today, I’m sharing a recipe for incredibly simple and healthy banana bread made without any flour. It has a wonderfully soft and moist texture, enhanced by the natural sweetness of bananas, making it a delight for all ages. This is highly recommended for those on a diet or looking for a healthy snack!
Essential Ingredients- 1/2 ripe banana (small to medium size)
- 1 fresh egg
- 1 teaspoon custard powder
- A pinch of salt
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare your banana by peeling it. Using a ripe banana, one that has started to develop brown spots, will significantly enhance the sweetness and flavor.
Step 2
Place the peeled banana in a bowl suitable for mashing. Using a fork, mash the banana until it’s mostly smooth with very few lumps. For a smoother batter, ensure it’s mashed thoroughly.
Step 3
Add 1 teaspoon of custard powder to the mashed banana. Custard powder helps to add a delicate sweetness and a smoother texture to the bread.
Step 4
You can adjust the amount of custard powder from 1 teaspoon up to 1 tablespoon, depending on your preference. However, be mindful that too much can make the bread overly sweet. If you don’t have custard powder, you can substitute it with an equal amount of sugar or honey. Remember to adjust the sweetness accordingly.
Step 5
Take your egg and carefully separate the yolk from the white. Add only the egg yolk to the mashed banana mixture and stir until well combined and smooth.
Step 6
In a separate, clean bowl, whip the egg whites vigorously using a hand mixer or whisk until stiff peaks form. This is known as making a meringue. Aim for peaks that stand straight up when the whisk is lifted.
Step 7
Gently spoon the stiff meringue onto the banana-yolk mixture. It’s important to handle the meringue carefully at this stage to preserve its airy volume.
Step 8
Using a spatula, gently fold the meringue into the banana mixture. Use an under-and-over motion or rotate the bowl as you fold, being careful not to deflate the meringue. Mix just until no streaks of dry ingredients are visible; overmixing will cause the meringue to collapse.
Step 9
Pour the batter into a microwave-safe dish. Microwave for approximately 5 to 6 minutes. The exact time may vary depending on your microwave’s wattage. To check for doneness, insert a toothpick; if it comes out clean, the bread is ready!
Step 10
Voila! Your sweet, fragrant, and moist banana bread is complete. Isn’t it amazing how you can make something so delicious and healthy without flour? Give it a try! It’s a fantastic snack that’s good for your health and won’t derail your diet. Enjoy! >
