Ingredients (for 8-10 servings)

• 1 tablespoon Tsuki Matcha culinary matcha
• 3 ripe bananas 
• 200 g all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 100 g brown sugar (or 80 g for a less sweet version)
• 2 medium-sized eggs
• 80 ml neutral vegetable oil (or melted butter)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Materials required:

• Cake mould
• Salad bowl
• Screen
• Fork or potato masher
• Whisk
• Oven preheated to 180°C

Detailed instructions

Step 1: Preparing the ingredients

Preheat oven to 180°C. Lightly grease a cake tin or line with baking parchment. Mash the 3 ripe bananas with a fork or potato masher until smooth.sieve 1 tablespoon of Tsuki Matcha culinary matcha into a bowl with hot water to avoid lumps. The fine texture of Tsuki Matcha makes it easy to dissolve, giving it a brilliant color.

Step 2: Mixing the Wet Ingredients

In a large bowl, combine banana purée, 100 g brown sugar, 2 eggs, 80 ml vegetable oil and, if desired, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth. Stir in the sifted matcha, taking care to integrate its intense flavor and characteristic hue.

Step 3: Incorporating dry ingredients

In a separate bowl, combine 200 g flour and 1 teaspoon baking powder. Add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients in stages, stirring gently with a spatula. A lightly textured dough guarantees a soft, airy banana bread.

Step 4: Cooking

Pour the batter into the prepared tin, then bake for 50-60 minutes, until the banana bread is golden brown. Leave to cool in the tin for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 6: Service

Slice the banana bread once cooled to reveal its soft texture and captivating color. Serve with green tea or coffee for a perfect harmony of flavors.
