    But… but… it’s so EASY…

    INGREDIENTS for blackcurrant banana bread:

    3 ripe bananas
    60g melted butter (1/4 cup or 1/2 a stick)
    150g sugar (2/3 cup)
    200g unbleached flour (1 1/4 cups)
    1/4 teaspoon salt
    1 egg, beaten
    1 teaspoon baking soda
    150g of fresh or frozen blackcurrants (without defreezing before use) (1 1/2 cups)

    PREPARATION of blackcurrant banana bread:

    Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C)
    Mash the bananas in a bowl
    Add the egg and butter
    Put all the dry ingredients together into a fine mesh sieve or sifter and sift into the bowl
    Mix well with a wooden spoon
    Bake in a buttered loaf pan until a toothpick stuck into the bread comes out clean, 55 to 60 minutes.

    Slice and serve.

    if using DRIED blackcurrants or cranberries, soak them in cold water for 30 minutes before using. Dried fruit sucks all the moisture out of the bread.

          I’m aware but why would anyone use the bleached flour? I mean are they marketed as bleached flour or are they just named white flour ?

          Shouldn’t be it the other way arround? The unbleached flour is the actual normal flour and the bleached flour should be called “bleached flour” to make people aware of the treatment? Kinda wild…

          But I digress, your cake still looks yummi and I still want to eat some ! 🥹

            I think it’s kind of like buying organic. It will specifically state “organic” to attract those customers and if it doesn’t specifically say that, assume it isn’t.

            But the most popular flours I’ve ever seen and used also specify:
