No Sugar Banana Bread

So far, my banana bread is my number-one requested food in real life. My people really like this, so I keep baking and baking the same thing; because I love validations. I think we all need them sometimes.

My banana bread is probably tasty beacsue;

  • One, no added sugar — If you use 4 ripe bananas, you really don’t need to add sugar. It’s already very sweet.
  • And two, lots of flavors — Adding some extra cinnamon and brandy do the trick ;)
  • And three, less butter — Just for health reasons. It’s a bit less than usual recipes.

I tried a bunch of recipes to make the best banana bread, and I finally settled down with this current recipe I have today.

1: Mash the bananas.
Preheat the oven to 350°F/ 175°C, then start mashing the bananas. Make sure you pick the ripe ones.
yukibananabread52: Melt butter.
yukibananabread13: Prepare the spices 
Making the best banana bread requires nutmeg and cinnamon for me.
IMG_75924: Mix all the ingredients except for the flour.
Mix them until all the mixture is well-combined.
IMG_7599Keep mixing until the color turns to delicious gold.
IMG_76025: Add the flour last.
yukibananabread36: Chop the chocolate.
This one is optional. I just really like chocolate and bananas together.
IMG_76317: Butter your loaf pan and start pouring the mixture in.
Your loaf pan should be around 4×8 inches (10×20 cm). I put the baking sheet on the bottom of the loaf pan so it’s easier to take the bread out.yukibananabread6 IMG_76338: Prepare the banana slices and pecans.
Cut a banana into slices and start putting them on top of the banana bread. I like doing it because it looks pretty.yukibananabread4

9: Bake for 60 to 70 minutes.
IMG_766710: Poke a stick to check.
If the stick comes back too wet, your bread is not ready! Toss it back in an oven and bake for another 10 minutes.
IMG_7672Once finished baking, remove from the pan. You are all done. IMG_7690Bananas + lots of cinnamon + lots of brandy = So good.

No sugar, less fat, but it’s pretty delicious. I really hope you like it.

    This looks so good.

    If I didn’t want to use brandy, could I just use water instead? Or do I need brandy>
