Ex-Boyfriend Banana Bread

3rd May 2023Food, Recipes 
Boyfriend Banana Bread

Once in a while you find something that’s dependable, you know what to expect, it works out the way you want it to, looks good, and makes a tasty snack. It then gives you a brilliant banana bread recipe and dumps you a year and a bit later.

This post was originally published on 17 April 2020 and has been edited and updated to reflect that I’m no longer dating the person who gave me his recipe for Banana Bread. On a positive note, this recipe is still just as good despite the fact that the relationship ended.

April 17, 2020: In the middle of a global pandemic when every single person you knew was baking banana bread

“Well, it had to happen. At first, it was the endless posts, then the four bananas turning a shade of black on the kitchen counter, and lastly, it was my boyfriend telling me that if I didn’t make banana bread then he would. The joys of dating someone who knows how to bake, and who is really good at it. We compromised and I made it using his recipe (that I had to edit slightly due to flour availability), which resulted in some of the tastiest banana bread I’ve ever baked.”

So here we have it, Boyfriend Banana Bread Ex-Boyfriend Banana Bread.

Ex-Boyfriend Banana Bread

This recipe makes one large loaf of banana bread. It keeps for about 3-4 days if stored in an airtight container and is even better with a schmear of salted butter and a cup of coffee or tea. Overripe bananas are bananas that are beginning to go black. The riper the banana, the better the banana bread. Bananas which are yellow and perfect for eating as is do not make good banana bread! Take them as far as you can – when the fruit flies ascend they’re ready.

INGREDIENTS

  • 1/2 cup sunflower oil
  • 1 cup light brown sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3 or 4 medium-sized overripe bananas, mashed
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup cake flour
  • 1 cup nutty wheat flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup pecan nuts, chopped

 METHOD

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C, grease, and lightly flour a large loaf tin.
  2. Combine the oil and sugar in a large mixing bowl and using a hand mixer or stand mixer, combine on high speed until light and creamy.
  3. Add the vanilla extract, mashed bananas, and eggs, and continue mixing on high speed until smooth.
  4. Add the rest of the dry ingredients and mix on low speed until just combined.
  5. Pour into the loaf tin and bake for about an hour.
  6. Allow the bread to cool completely before slicing.
NOTES

If you can’t find nutty wheat flour you can substitute it with brown bread, wholemeal, or whole wheat flour. In a pinch, I’d crush All-Bran Flakes and mix them into white cake flour to make up two cups for the above.

UPDATE

Can also be baked as muffins when you divide the batter into a prepared muffin tray and bake them for 15 minutes at 190°C until golden brown and risen. For a crunchy top sprinkle with half a teaspoon of light brown sugar before baking.

Frankie’s beautiful custom-made mobile by @mossi Frankie’s beautiful custom-made mobile by @mossiehandmade. I asked Nicolette for foxes and wild flowers, and couldn’t be happier with what she created 🦊
Someone told me yesterday that she’s looking mor Someone told me yesterday that she’s looking more like me but I don’t see it. I see my mom, flashes of my middle sister as a baby, and then some of her dad. There are flecks of green beginning to show in her dark blue eyes in certain light, which I’m claiming. Her hair is getting lighter and I’m sure if I shaved it off (which I would never do), she’s blonde underneath. She’s also very cheeky and smart so I’m claiming that, too. 

Nevertheless, I’m really enjoying this stage of my baby. Even in the last 2 weeks she’s become even more vocal, responsive, inquisitive, and cuddly. Even if she doesn’t look like me, at the end of the day she’s her own individual little person 🥰

The good news is my hair stopped falling out, which I’m ecstatic about. I’ve definitely noticed an improvement in its texture, elasticity and length. The best compliment of all though: My hairdresser asked me if I was taking something, because he couldn’t believe the difference since I saw him about 3 months ago. 

Would I recommend it for postpartum hair recovery? Absobloodylutely 💯

A riff on @pinchofyum’s Spring Detox Cauliflower Salad (which I first made years ago when I discovered her amazing recipes). Added a few handfuls of rocket, watercress and baby spinach + a grilled chicken breast for extra protein👌🏽
