Instructions
- Preheat the oven for 10 minutes at 200 degrees C.
- Grease the baking tin with oil and / or line with parchment paper.
- In a large glass bowl, measure and sift the whole wheat flour (twice).
- In another glass bowl (for wet ingredients), peel the overripe bananas and mash it well using a fork.
- To the mashed banana, add the jaggery, oil, vanilla essence and coconut milk. Whisk well and keep aside.
- To the whole wheat flour, add baking soda, baking powder, pumpkin seeds and chia seeds.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Mix well for a lump free batter.
- Now pour the batter in to the greased baking tin. Using a spatula, spread the batter evenly and gently tap the baking tin once.
- Bake the banana bread at 180 Degree Celsius for 35 minutes.
- After the bread is baked, check by inserting a wooden skewer in the centre. If it comes out clean, the bread is ready. If the center is not cooked, place the tin inside the oven for 5-10 mins or until ready.
- Allow the bread to cool completely before slicing.
- Store the slices in an airtight container.
Notes
- Use Overripe bananas - The ones almost black in color are perfect for this recipe.
- Self raising flour, all purpose flour or Maida can be used for this recipe instead of Whole wheat flour.
- In place of olive oil, you can add any neutral oil. You can also use unsalted butter or ghee (melt, measure and use) if you are not looking for a Vegan Recipe.
- Unsweetened Coconut Milk can be substituted with any plant based milk like almond, soy, oat etc.
- Sugar can be added instead of jaggery. 3/4th cup should be ideal if you don't prefer the banana bread, too sweet.
- The quality of jaggery differs. Always taste check and then add. Some jaggery are a tad sweeter and you might need less quantity. The colour of the jaggery varies too. I have used a dark variety.
- You can add any seeds you like instead of pumpkin and chia. This bread can be made without seeds as well. I used what was available in our pantry at home. The quantity can be increased too.
- You can also add 1/2 cup chocolate chips instead of seeds (especially for kids).
- The cake can be re-heated in a microwave before serving.
