Meghan Markle’s banana bread recipe

Meghan Markle’s recipe is slightly modified from the basic banana bread recipe. To make it we will need:

  • 2 cups gluten-free flour,
  • 2/3 cup unrefined cane sugar,
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder,
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda,
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt,
  • 8 tablespoons melted butter,

  • 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract,
  • 2/3 package of sour cream,
  • 1 cup mashed banana,
  • 1/2 cup dark chocolate (cut into pieces),
  • 1/2 teaspoon of ground ginger

We need to prepare a baking pan, preferably grease it with margarine or line it with baking paper. Then mix together baking powder, sugar, flour, salt and baking soda. Then add eggs, butter, vanilla extract, ginger and cream. Mix all the ingredients thoroughly. Add the banana, mix and finally add the chocolate pieces. Spread the mixture thoroughly in a baking pan, then put it in the oven preheated to 175 degrees Celsius. Bake the bread for 45 minutes, after baking leave to cool.

Where did banana bread come from?

During the Great Depression, housewives looked for many ways to avoid wasting food. This included bananas, which unfortunately spoiled quickly and were very expensive. Therefore, as befits a perfect housewife, they began to bake bread from overripe bananas. It tasted more like a cake, but quickly became a part of many households’ tables

Why is it worth eating banana bread?

Bananas are a source of protein, carbohydrates and fiber. They contain many valuable vitamins such as B vitamins, vitamin E, C, carotene and folic acid. In bananas we can also find phosphorus, calcium, magnesium, zinc, potassium and iron. They are also rich in natural antioxidants that reduce free radicals, so we increase our resistance to hypertension, atherosclerosis, and cancer. At the same time, the ginger included in Meghan Markle’s recipe, will prove ideal during the cold season
