Moist Banana Walnut Loaf

Stir in the roughly mashed ripe bananas, leaving a few small pieces for texture.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon powder, baking powder, and baking soda. Fold the dry ingredients gently into the banana mixture just until no dry streaks remain.

Toss the chopped walnuts with 1 tbsp of the measured flour, then fold them into the batter. Do not overmix, or the loaf may turn dense.

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf tin and scatter a few extra walnuts on top. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean. If using a covered pot/patila, keep the heat low and check after 25 minutes.

Let the loaf cool in the tin for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a rack. Slice only once fully cooled and serve with tea or coffee.
