Banana Walnut Bread – Eggless

My daily blog-hunt bought me to this wonderful eggless banana-walnut cake from Mahanandi and i was hooked. My husband loves all the bread experiments I make, so I thought why not make it into a bread recipe. Made couple of variations and the Bread was ready. My variations were inclusion of cinnamon, which I love for its heavenly smell, and wheatgerm. From the moment, I got to know its health benefits, it has been a regular addition in my recipes.

    Hii DK

    I was looking for some good banana bread recipes and I came across your blog. The recipes are quite impressive. I was hungry seeing many of the photos :) Just baked the bread, it smells great! I can’t wait to eat it (its still hot!) It raised well and fortunately its still that way :) My experience with banana cake/ bread has been bad. The cake always fell flat. I didn’t have wheat germ so I used half all purpose, half wheat flour (for pseudo healthy feel). Thanks a lot for this great recipe.

    Thanks for your sweet comment Swati. Am glad u liked them :) This bread is our fav too

    Hi Indhu, your comment made my day. I have been literally jumping around the house ever since I read your comment :) No I am not from any culinary school and I have been baking now for about 2 yrs now! Its just practice and encouragement from fellow bloggers/friends. As for your query, I have a simple Banana bread lined up in my draft to be posted soon – so watch out for it. Its v simple and it was the first bread I ever baked. But if you are in a hurry, lemme know,I will e-mail you the recipe which I like :)

    Hi Jo..

    Wheat germ is the embryo of the Wheat grain. Although it is not essential or Important to use this ingrediant in Baking, its a good idea to make use for the sole purpose of the nutrients that it contains. It is rich in Vit B1,B2,B6, contains Octacosanol (food molecules which benefit our body immensely),Vit E,protien,Vit A manganese etc.. PHEW! isnt the list awesome…

    I use it in my baking as and when I can. U can substitute equal amount of All piurpose flour instead of wheat germ :)

    Yeast is used to assist in the process of fermentation, the absence of which will cause longer wait for breads to rise
