Some questions related to whole wheat eggless banana bread recipe.

Question no. 1 - Why my whole wheat banana bread becomes hard after baking?
Answer - It maybe because of one of the most common mistakes in baking whole wheat bread which is not using enough water. Its just because whole grains absorb more liquid than the white flour.

Question no. 2 - Why my whole wheat eggless banana bread becomes chewy after cooling down?
Answer - Maybe because you did not use enough oil in your recipe. Just try to increase oil. Another reason can be that you have not sifted the flour. I always sift my dry ingredients no less than three times. It makes my cakes and breads light and fluffy.

1 cup whole wheat flour
1 tablespoon corn starch
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 cup extremely ripe bananas
1/2 cup greek yogurt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup brown sugar, lightly packed

Let's prepare eggless banana bread step by step

Step 1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. At the same time Grease and flour a bread pan and set aside.

Step 2. Take 1 cup of whole wheat flour and replace 1 tablespoon of flour with cornstarch. This will be your cake flour. Adding cornstarch makes bread soft and fluffy.

Step 3. Sift the dry ingredients flour (step2), baking soda, baking powder, salt and cinnamon in large mixing bowl.

Step 4. In another bowl mash banana, I used a fork to mash it. Add vanilla essence, Greek yogurt, olive oil, brown sugar and hot water. Stir it with whisk until all mix well.

You can also use coconut oil in place of olive oil. It tastes good in breads.

Step 5. Add dry ingredient mixture (step3) to wet ingredients (step4) and mix. Be sure that you don't overmix the batter because it may result in dense texture. Add lemon juice at last and just mix it twice.

Step 6.Pour the mixture into the prepared bread pan. Spread it in pan and sprinkle 1 teaspoon of brown sugar on top for a nice brown crust. Sprinkle some pumpkin seeds.

Step 7. Bake for 70 minutes or until a tooth pick when inserted into the center comes out clean. If bread is baked, it will starts to leave the edges.

Step 8. When bread is halfway done, cover the top surface of bread by placing a silver foil on it else top of bread may become too hard.

Step 9. Bread is done. Decorate it with peanut butter and Nutella if you want or you can slice it up as it is. Store it in airtight container in refrigerator. It is good to use by 4 days of preparation. Enjoy heavenly delicious whole wheat eggless banana bread with a cup of tea.
