❓ What Is Jamie Oliver’s Banana Bread Recipe?
Jamie Oliver’s Banana Bread is a fragrant, moist delicacy that combines ripe bananas, honey, and cinnamon and is ideal for any event.
🍌 Jamie Oliver Banana Bread Ingredients
- 125 g unsalted butter, plus extra for greasing (at room temperature)
- 2 large eggs
- 4 ripe bananas
- 2 tablespoons runny honey
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened apple juice
- 250 g self-raising flour, plus extra for dusting
- 1 big pinch of ground cinnamon
- 50 g pecans, optional
🥮 How To Make Jamie Oliver Banana Bread
- Turn the oven on high heat (180°C/350°F/gas 4).
- Apply a thin layer of butter to the inside and outside of a 1-liter loaf tin using a folded-up dish towel to prevent sticking.
- Mash the soft butter with a wooden spoon in a large bowl until it becomes creamy.
- Combine the eggs and butter and beat until smooth. Even if it appears lumpy now, it will fit back together eventually.
- Incorporate 3 peeled bananas into the mixture by mashing and smushing them with a fork, creating a texture that is equal parts smooth and chunky.
- Add the apple juice and honey, whisk until combined, and then gently fold in the cinnamon and flour with a spatula, being careful not to overmix.
- Before folding in the pecans, if using, chop them on a chopping board using the cross-chop method (or pound them with a rolling pin).
- Transfer the entire mixture to the loaf tin using a spoon. After that, slice the leftover banana and insert it into the mixture.
- Bake for 40 to 50 minutes, or until bubbly and fully done. Insert a cocktail stick or skewer into the center of the loaf; after 5 seconds, remove it; if it emerges clean, the loaf is done; if it’s a little sticky, it needs a little more cooking time.
- Turn the loaf carefully onto a wire rack and let it cool entirely after letting it cool somewhat.
- Place on an elegant plate, slice, and serve. Pair it with your favorite spread—be it honey, jam, butter, or even chocolate. Have pleasure!
đź’ Recipe Tips
