Healthy Banana Walnut Loaf


An absolute guilt free indulgence of "Banana-Walnut Loaf"
.. I replaced maida with whole-wheat flour and even better, just one spoon of ghee used!! A healthy n tasty bite 


INGREDIENTS
Ripe bananas - 2
Whole Wheat flour - 2 cups
Powdered brown sugar (or white sugar) - 3/4 cup
Yoghurt - 2/3 cup
Milk - 3/4 cup
Baking soda - 1/2 Tsp
Baking powder - 1/2 Tsp
Cocoa powder - 1 Tbsp
Vanilla essence - 1/2 Tsp
Cinnamon powder - 1/4 Tsp
Ghee or melted unsalted butter - 1 Tbsp
Salt - a pinch
Chopped walnuts - 1/3 cup

METHOD:
1. Sieve the following together: Whole wheat flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt
2. In a blender, mix the following and make a smooth paste: bananas, sugar, yoghurt, about 2 Tbsp of milk
3. Add the banana paste to the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly stirring without lumps
4. To the mixture, add ghee/butter, walnuts. Mix well
5. In case the batter seems too thick, dilute it with very little milk. The batter should not be runny. When you try dropping the batter with a spoon, it should fall in big globs
6. Add the batterto a greased cake tray or loaf tray. Bake at 150C in a pre-heated oven for about 30-40-minutes or till a fork insertted into the cake comes out clean
7. Let it cool completely and then slice them as you wish
