I have to say this today loud and clear. If you are new to baking or intimidated by baking, then Banana Bread should be the first baked goody in your oven. You can never go wrong with it. I have so many kinds of banana breads on my blog and not even one recipe has disappointed me. Well, I keep the basic recipe with some tweaking changes of added ingredients here and there. The best part is that it can be easily done without any eggs.
This bread came out of the oven and more than half of it was gone within the first 20 minutes. I kept slapping the approaching hands to let it cool off and save some to click, but of no use. The husband and the kids kept roaring with laughter as I kept chasing them away from it and they kept coming back like honey bee. Does that say anything about the quality of the bread? Well, this is not a leavened bread, neither a cake but a sweet bread that goes perfectly well with your cup of tea and coffee. With the added benefits of whole wheat and jaggery, it was of lesser guilt and absolutely delicious.
Adding the jaggery was a last minute idea, after I remembered seeing Ruchi’s Ginger Gudh Cake on Facebook. And it worked well. Next time, I might substitute with it completely. Let us bake the gorgeous now.
Enjoy this healthier version of banana bread this season with the goodness of whole wheat and jaggery.
Sonal
Made it yesterday with the kids. Came out very delicious and super moist. Half of it was finished ilex it even still warm!!
This recipe of yours is kids favourite. Sometimes I think they deliberately let banana ripen so they can have banana bread. Always a hit in my house.
Yayyy
Thanks Ruch!❤️
I think I like almost any dish with walnuts in it 😀
Me too
the bread looks so well baked.. delicious!!
Anything with jaggery has got to be good Sonal. I’ve never tried baking with jaggery. I see that it now comes in crystals instead of a large block 🙂
Yes Loretta.
I actually found the powdered form. The brand called Udupi has it in a clear plastic jar and really neat.
Sonal, this looks delicious! I believe that I can use molasses instead of Jaggery?
I bet Julie. If you want to try jaggery I can send you some :).
Even raw sugar is a good substitute.
You are so sweet Sonal! Is it available in Indian stores? I have one close by. Also I do have some raw sugar.
Yes it is easily available at Indian stores Julie
Thats a really beautiful loaf Sonal, I am constantly amazed at the gorgeous results of recipes that do not use eggs. Also love that you used jaggery in this. Would love a slice right now with a cup of tea.
Thanks Suzanne!
This was a good surprise with the experiment done. Jaggery is filled with minerals and not just empty calories as compared to bleached sugar. Much deeper taste too.
