Author Notes

This version of banana bread includes a variety of spices inspired by chai tea, which can also be replaced with the same amount of pumpkin pie spice for ease. Perfect for fall, and just as good for dessert as for breakfast. —Elina

  • The Batter
  • 2 Bananas with lots of brown spots
  • 2 tablespoons Canola oil
  • 3 tablespoons Maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1 pinch Sea salt
  • 120 grams All-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon Baking powder
  • 50 grams Chopped walnuts

Directions
  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F. Grease a small loaf pan with oil, or line a muffin tin with muffin liners
  2. In a large bowl, mash the bananas. Add the oil, maple syrup, vanilla, salt, and all of the spices. Mix well
