Expert Tips
It's so simple to make banana bread using your Thermomix.
Here's some simple tips to follow:
- If you live in a hot climate and your coconut oil is already melted, you can skip that step and add it along with the eggs, vanilla extract and bananas.
- The riper the bananas are, the better!
- If you find that your banana bread is over-browning, simply place a sheet of foil over the top and continue baking.
- Your banana bread is cooked when a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
- If you live in a hot climate, store your banana bread in the fridge, but allow it to come to room temperature before serving.
FAQs
Sure thing! You may find that you need to mix them a little longer in the Thermomix however.
The general rule is that brown or starting to blacken bananas are fine to use (the riper the better). However, if the bananas smell, or are black on the inside or leaking fluid... throw them out!
Banana bread defrosts beautifully and can be frozen for up to 3 months.
