Spiced Banana Bread

Add cashews in a pan and toast on medium heat for a minute or two. Once the nuts are toasted, roughly chop it and set aside.

Preheat oven at 350°F / 180°C.

Grease a 9 x 5 inch baking or bread loaf pan with butter.

In a small bowl add one egg, salt and baking soda. Beat everything together until well combined.

Mash ripe banana in a mixing bowl using a fork or a masher. Pour in melted butter and sugar and mix until the sugar dissolves.

Stir in the egg mix into the banana mixture. (Refer Note : 2 and 3)

Add spice mix or powder in to the batter. (Refer Note : 4) Then, fold in the wheat flour gently into the banana mix. Also add the roasted nuts and combine everything together. (Refer Note : 5)

Pour the batter to the greased pan. Gently level the top of the batter using a spoon or spatula.

Bake it in the oven for 50 to 55 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Allow the bread to cool off in the pan itself for 10 minutes. Then take it out of the pan and allow to cool 5 more minutes. Serve warm with tea or coffee.
