Aromatic Banana & Hazelnut loaf Bread, with Pumpkin seeds!

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C.

In a bowl, combine all your dry ingredients- flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and ground cinnamon. With a whisk, give it a good mix. Set aside.

With a fork, mash your ripened bananas very well, until you get a smooth, semi-liquid consistency. Don’t worry if there are some chunks left in it.

In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs.

Add the mashed bananas, vanilla extract and melted butter. Whisk well until it is all well-combined.

Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and with a spatula, fold in everything together until the batter is just about well-mixed and lump free. Do not over mix or your bread can come out tough!

Lastly, throw in your chopped hazelnuts/ walnuts and give the batter a final mix.

Transfer the batter into a greased Loaf baking tin.

Sprinkle the top with pumpkin seeds and bake at 180 degrees C for around 40 minutes, or until the toothpick inserted in it comes out clean.

Cool, slice and enjoy as a delicious snack or a dessert!
