How to make banana loaf

 

Good afternoon all you bakery lovers. Today we will be talking about banana bread. At the MF Headquarters, we decided to make a banana loaf and we were mesmerised at how much impact the implementation of our MF Cinnamon and Nutmeg had on the taste of the bread. In a climate where it’s constantly raining and riddled with freezing conditions, we often find ourselves stuck in the house with nothing to do and making banana bread could be a perfect way to entertain ourselves during the day. Firstly, let’s look at the history of banana read, where did it actually come from? It wasn’t until the 1900s that bananas were available in the united states as a result of the antithetical climate to southeast Asia. Once basic refrigeration was improved the transportation of bananas increased and they became more readily available to American consumers. Bananas then became incorporated into baking during the 1930s as a result of the great depression and an increase in baking soda and powder mass production. The combination of these two events collided to create the banana bread craze.

Ingredients:

-          2 cups of flour

-          1 ½ teaspoon of baking powder

-          1 teaspoon of baking soda

-          4 very ripe bananas

-          2 eggs

-          1 cup of sugar

-          1 teaspoon MF Cinnamon

-          ½ teaspoon salt

-          ½ teaspoon MF Nutmeg

-          ¼ teaspoon ground cloves

-          ½ cup melted butter

-          1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Method:

 

1)      Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour two 8 by 3-inch loaf pans. Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and baking soda then set aside.

 

2)      Mash the bananas, eggs, sugar, MF Cinnamon, salt, MF Nutmeg, and cloves together in a large bowl with a fork until well combined. Stir in the melted butter and vanilla extract, then fold in the flour mixture until a batter forms and no dry lumps remain. Pour into the prepared loaf pans.

 

3)      Bake in preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean, about 45 minutes. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then remove from the pan and allow to cool completely on a wire rack.

How to make the MF Soursop smoothie.

  Good evening MF Blog readers, we hope you all are staying active during this cold Christmas season. As the year draws to a close, MF Products still have a variety of tasty recipes to broadcast and this week we will be looking at how we can use our MF Soursop to make some delightful treats. Today we will be making our very own MF Soursop smoothie with bananas and almonds. We chose bananas due it’s alpha and beta carotene content when consumed by the body, this then turns in vitamin A. Bananas are also a good source of potassium and due to its low water content, it contains more calories and is more filling. This pairs wonderfully with the benefits of soursop (previously mentioned in another blog) as it; possesses antioxidants, fights against bacteria, and boosts the immune system. Almonds are also very beneficial as they contain unsaturated fats, fibre, magnesium as well as protein. When adding all three ingredients together, this is a very healthy smoothie that will help to ...

What can coffee do for your skin?

Good morning everyone, welcome back to another edition of The MF Products Blog. Today we’re going to be looking at coffee and what it can do for you cosmetically. Specifically, the largest organ on your body. No, its not the liver. It’s in fact, the skin. Yes! The skin that’s all over your body is indeed an organ and since it’s everywhere we should take the most care with it. At least that’s what we think at MF Products .   Anyways, many people go through life having sensitive skin and they endure this treacherous and tedious search in trying to find that ‘special’ cream that will magically dispose of any breakouts or redness when really there’s a game changer right in front of them (not literally, but you get where I’m going with this). The truth is… MF Coffee has been the saviour this whole time. In fact, a study was published that showed that Japanese women between the ages of 30 to 60 who drank coffee had significantly less markers of aging. So that meant less wrinkles ...

How to make the MF Seamoss face mask.

  Facecare is arguably the most underlooked aspect of self-care on the human body, ironically, it’s the most sensitive part too. As a result, a great deal of these products on the high street shelves claim to be good for the skin but in reality, are not. The chemicals and toxins inputted in these products are artificial and therefore struggle to benefit the skin. In fact, in most case scenarios, they make the skin worse. That’s why the MF team decided to create a facecare blog today because we care about not just our customers but society as a whole too. This, therefore, brings us to the creation of the MF Seamoss facemask. The contents inside sea moss are, of course, natural and healthy for the body. This means, if they’re healthy for the body, they must be healthy for the skin too. You will need: -           MF Seamoss gel (check out our previous blog on how to make that) -           Chlor...
