Steps

1

Pre heat oven to 350 deg F

Melt butter and set aside, and also mash the bananas
3

Toast almonds in a pan to enhance flavour (5-8 mins)
4

In a bowl, mix the eggs, then add vanilla extract, mashed bananas and melted butter. Beat till fully incorporated
5

In another bowl, whisk the flour, nutmeg, salt, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon
6

Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, add the almonds and fold in. Do not overmix as this would make the loaf dense and heavy.

8

Bake in the oven till a skewer inserted in the middle comes out clean (about 60 mins)
9

Allow to cool about 10 mins before taking out of the pan

Bread can be wrapped with foil paper and stored at room temperature. This bread gets better as it ages.

Note cake flour generally gives cakes a lighter and more delicate structure. Here’s how to make your own cake flour: 1 cup all purpose flour - 2 tablespoons all purpose flour + 2 tablespoons corn starch
