Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups Self-Rising Flour
- 3/4 cup Brown Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
- 1 cup Granola
Wet Ingredients
- 2 Bananas
- 1/2 cup Milk
- 3 Eggs
- 150 grams Butter
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180 degrees Celsius) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking the mini banana breads evenly.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add the self-rising flour, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and granola. Mix these thoroughly until well blended to ensure even distribution of flavors and leavening agents.
- Prepare Wet Ingredients: In a separate jug, mash the bananas lightly, then add the milk, melted butter, and eggs. Stir these wet ingredients together until fully combined to create a smooth batter.
- Mix Batter: Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with dry ingredients. Quickly but gently mix everything together until just combined to avoid overmixing, which could make the breads dense.
- Fill Loaf Pan: Divide the batter evenly among the holes of a mini loaf pan, filling each about two-thirds full to allow room for rising during baking.
- Bake: Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, indicating the breads are fully cooked.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the loaf pan from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes. Then, transfer the mini banana breads to a serving dish. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- Use ripe bananas for maximum sweetness and moisture.
- If self-rising flour is unavailable, use all-purpose flour with 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon salt per cup of flour.
- Granola adds a nice texture but can be replaced with chopped nuts if preferred.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute butter and milk with plant-based alternatives.
