Dr Malik’s Almost World Famous Banana Bread

I’m not much of a baker, actually I’ve never baked anything before in my life. But on a recent trip to Sobeys I picked up too many bananas and they began to go bad. So not being wasteful, I decided to try and bake some banana bread. 

In case you do not believe me, here is photographic evidence:

As this was a recipe I made it on the fly with some inspiration from the internet. The measurements indicated may not be accurate, especially for the choclate chips.

Ingredients:

• 1 Cup All Purpose Flower

• 1 Cup Ground Oats

• ¼ Cup Ground Almonds

• 1 Teaspoon Baking Soda

• ¼ Teaspoon Salt

• ½ cup butter

• ¾ cup of brown sugar

• 2 eggs

• chocolate chips (mood dependent)

 Steps:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees

2. Lightly grease a loaf pan with butter or vegetable spray. 

3. Mix the flour, almonds, baking soda and salt in a mixing bowl

4. In a separate bowl mix the butter (at room temperature) with the brown sugar 

5. Beat two eggs and add them to step 4.  Mix together.

6. In a separate bowl mash 4-5 ripe bananas (⅔ cups in total)

7. Add chocolate chips to step 6 in proportion to your current stress level.

8.  Add step 6 to step 4 and mix together well. 

9. Once mixed, add step 8 to step 3. Don’t overmix.

10. Pour the batter into the loaf pan.

11. Place the pan in a preheated oven for 60-65 minutes. A fork inserted into the bread should come out clean, indicating it has cooked well.

12.  Allow to cool for 10 minutes at room temperature, before turning over the pan. 

13. Most importantly: enjoy!
