Then mixing it up with milk and eggs gives it a beautiful texture.

Directions to prepare Banana Bread
Mash the ripened banana nicely with the help of a spoon or a folk. Or you may simply put it into a blender to make a paste out of it. Keep this aside until we prepare other things.
Into a bowl separate 3 large egg whites from the yolks. Using a hand blender beat the eggs until stiff peaks. While beating the eggs in between add 1/4 cup of sugar gradually and beat. As soon as you reach the stiff peak point stop beating the egg whites and the sugar. Keep this aside for later use.
Pour 1/2 a cup of milk into a separate bowl. Add 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla essence and 1 teaspoon of lemon juice and give it a mix. Add the egg yolks and mix nicely.
Then add 1 cup + 3 tablespoons of All-purpose flour gradually and mix. Add 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder and give it a mix until makes a lump-free smooth batter.
Finally, add the beaten egg whites into portions and mix lightly. Mix and fold the batter carefully in order to prevent the airy bubbles that we created by beating the egg whites. This provides the fluffiest and softest texture to the bread.
Once done ✔️ place a parchment paper onto a baking container and brush it up with some oil or butter. Now pour the batter into it. Tap lightly to release any air bubbles trapped inside. Now it’s all set to go inside the oven.
Baking of the banana bread
Preheat the oven to 235 degrees Fahrenheit. Bake it for 30 to 35 minutes. Or until you see it lightly turned brown on the top. To check insert a toothpick inside right at the center. If it comes out clean it is completely baked inside and is done ✅
Allow it to cool. Preferably cool it on the cooling rack for best results. Or you may simply transfer on to a plate and let them cool. Once cold cut them into desired pieces and enjoy.
