DIRECTIONS

• Preheat the oven to 350°F and prepare 1 large loaf or 2 medium loaf pans.
• If using Instant Pot Mini, use small loaf pan or desired baking tin.
• Mash the bananas in a bowl, until creamy.
• Sift together the dry ingredients-flours, spices, baking soda and baking powder and keep aside.
• In another large bowl, cream together butter and sugar along with eggs one at a time.
• Now mix in the mashed bananas and vanilla extract until well incorporated.
• Alternate between the flour mixture and buttermilk. Gently fold until well combined.
• Do not over mix, it can result in tough bread.
• Pour the batter into prepared pans and sprinkle some sliced walnuts or almonds.
• If you are making in Instant Pot, pour 1 cup water into the inner pot and place a trivet. Foil wrap your loaf tin containing batter and use foil sling to lower on top of the trivet.
• Bake for 1 hour in oven/if using IP, ‘pressure cook’ mode for 35 minutes or until a tooth pick inserted in the center comes out clean.
• Instant Pot-Any time you want to check the doneness during cooking, use Quick Release option by turning the steam handle to venting position and open the lid.
• Take the bread out of the oven and cool for about 10 mins before slicing.
• Tip# If you  do not have Almond meal, just replace with the same qty of All purpose flour(maida)
• Tip#For Dairy free Banana bread, replace the buttermilk with Almond milk.
• Tip# You can also add chocolate chips to the batter to get a Banana chocolate chip loaf.
