Notes

Tips for a great Banana Bread:
  1. Oven Baking times may vary. See what works for you, till a skewer / toothpick comes out clean
  2. If you are omitting any / adding any ingredient from the above list, the baking time and output may vary. 
  3. Once the wet and dry ingredients are mixed, gently fold. Overmixing may result in the bread turning hard
  4. Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature.
  5. If using Maida / All purpose flour in place of wholewheat flour, the liquid needed might be slightly lesser.  
  6. If the bread is browning too fast, tent the baking pan with aluminium foil quickly 
  7. I used a 8 1/2 X 4 1/2 pan. If you use any other pan, the bake time would vary slightly. Keep an eye on the rising bread.
