Renewed banana bread recipe - So good!

You might remember that I love banana bread

Ever since I tried baking that for the first time (even though it first failed, lol) I'm a fan! I just had to find the right recipe for our oven at the time so it seemed.
Well, I could dream of the old recipe as my daughter really loved it and requested me to bake one as soon as she saw bananas in the house. I often gave in to that because of her difficult eating habits. At least then she'd eat something. I was very happy when I had a new baking tin here in Spain and my beloved cooling rack from IKEA. What could stop me from baking banana bread? Well, trust me, I started trying the first week we moved in here, but this (to me) new oven is so different that it took much longer for the banana bread to be ready. For a while, I thought I could throw it all in the bin when I opened the oven and saw a jelly-like-looking bread, haha. Thankfully, I managed to bake it off well enough for us to eat it but the disappointment was here for sure.

Two more attempts before I got it right!

The second attempt was a bit better but still not perfect IMO. I thought I at least figured out which settings to use and mostly, which temperature, which was 220 instead of 160! But not for the full hour, nope, I tried lowering it gradually twice during the hour of baking. I will share the improved recipe that gave me the best banana bread so far, it was absolutely delicious! I hope that eventually, I figure out how to bake it at the same temperature for a full hour, but for now, I'm very happy with the result. You can check out the pictures to see how it turned out!

The Ingredients

For those wondering what I used in this recipe, here are the ingredients:

• 125 grams of melted butter (I use real butter, unsalted)
• 200 grams of sugar
• 2 big eggs
• 50 ml of milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla aroma
• 2 big bananas
• 250 grams of flour
• pinch of salt

Instructions

This is my personal improved recipe which works with my oven, please be careful using these high temperatures and adjust it to your oven's settings if needed.

• Preheat the oven to 220 degrees Celcius
• Mix the sugar and melted butter
• Add the eggs one by one
• Add the milk and vanilla aroma to the mix
• Add the flour, baking soda, and salt at the same time and mix it well.
• Use a fork to mash the bananas
• Add them to the batter
• Cover the baking tin with baking paper
• Add the batter to the tin
• Bake for 15 mins at 220 degrees Celcius
• Lower the temperature to 200 degrees and bake for 15 minutes
• Now lower the temperature to 170 degrees Celcius for the last 30 minutes
• Let the banana bread cool off on a cooling rack
• Wait until fully cooled off for the best experience!

Enjoy!
