Ingredients:
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 2 packages Raga Muffin’s Muffin Mix
- 3/4 cup chopped nuts
- 1/2 cup mashed bananas (optional)
Instructions:
-
Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C). Grease a 9″x5″ loaf pan to ensure easy removal of the banana bread.
-
Prepare Batter: In a large mixing bowl, blend together the eggs and milk until well combined.
-
Incorporate Muffin Mix: Gradually add the two packages of Raga Muffin’s Muffin Mix to the bowl, stirring gently until just moistened.
-
Add Nuts (and Bananas): If desired, fold in the chopped nuts for added texture and flavor. For an extra banana boost, you can also incorporate 1/2 cup of mashed bananas into the batter at this stage.
-
Bake: Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly. Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Cooling: Once baked, allow the banana bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Afterward, carefully transfer it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
-
Serve or Store: Slice the cooled banana bread and serve it fresh, or store it in an airtight container for later enjoyment.
