Eggless Honey Banana Wheat Loaf
For this month’s Daring Bakers Challenge, Lis of La Mia Cucina, asked us to go creative with our baking skills. She wanted us to create quick breads. I have posted a recipe for Eggless Pumpkin and honey bread. Quick breads are breads which doesn’t need kneading or rising. The leavening agent used in quick breads are baking powder, baking soda or eggs. I love the honey flavour in breads. So I prepared another quick bread with honey. It also has wheat flour and banana. The combined aroma of honey and banana filled the house while the bread was in oven. When tasted, the combination of flavours worked well. The bread was mildly sweet, soft, moist and fluffy. The crust was beautiful and i am so happy for the result. I tried out eggless version.
Isn’t the crust beautiful?
A closer look at a slice.

Thank you Gayathri for this loaf recipe. I tried it and added some walnuts to the final batter, it came out great. However, I use convection of microwave and it seems like it takes longer to bake in it. Is that true? But very happy with the outcome. I am so glad to have found this blog!
There will be some variations in baking time even between OTGs Swati. I am so glad you liked it..
Hi Gayatri a client wants a only maida cake and no honey, can I substitute sugar for honey and only all purpose flour?
You can substitute wheat flour with maida. And you can also add honey instead of sugar. But you might need to reduce milk quantity. I am not sure how much but do it while mixing the batter.
Hi, I am looking to make this bread..but I don’t have vinegar! Can I substitute lime juice or sour curd instead?
You can use lemon juice instead.
Made this today.. Me and my 9 yr old daughter are a team. We are beginners. We spread out all the ingredients on the counter like all those photos in food blogs. Followed step by step.. Despite our preparations, we forgot to add salt and vanilla essence when they were both in front if our eyes 🙂 But the bread did not disappoint. It took 40 min to cook. I had to increase temperature to 180 after 30 min as we were poking it all over with toothpick. We all ate the bread so happily. It was very tasty. We are picking so many recipes from your site to experiment. Thanks much for detailed instructions.. Very helpful.
Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback. Very glad to hear that you are teaming up with your daughter to try!
Hi Gayatri, can you tell me how much is 1/8 cup maida in grams? And as per your measurement table,1 cup whole wheat flour is 130 gms,right?
1 cup of whole wheat flour would be 130 gm. 1/8th cup maida would be 16-18 gm
Hi Gayatri how much is 1/4 th cup honey in grams?
It would be 60 gm.
