Equipment

  • 1 Large mixing bowl
  • 1 large wooden spoon for mixing
  • 1 Oven-safe Loaf Pan, 9 ¼ x 5 ¼ inches

Ingredients

  • 3 to 4 large over ripe bananas, mashed, about 1 cup
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3 whole eggs
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup sliced langka (jackfruit) strips, about 1/2 inch pieces; bottled or canned in syrup; jackfruit should be ripe
  • ⅓ cup langka syrup, from the canned fruit

Instructions

  • Preheat oven at 375 F degrees.
    Line a loaf pan with parchment paper at the bottom. Grease with baking spray on the sides and under the parchment paper. Set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine and mix all the ingredients listed above.
    *Reserve a few slices of langka for decorating the top of the loaf before baking.
  • Mix the ingredients well with a wooden spoon till the batter is smooth.
    Pour the batter into the pre-greased, lined loaf pan.
    Bake at 375 F degrees for 50 minutes.
  • Use a cake tester (or the tip of a small sharp knife) by piercing the top middle part of the banana bread. If tester comes out clean, the loaf is done.
    Cool the Banana Bread with Langka on the counter. Slice and serve.
    *Keep leftovers covered in the refrigerator.

Cook's comment:

  • For this recipe, I used bottled langka (jackfruit) in syrup, which I purchase from Asian markets, Filipino stores or online sources like Amazon or online Asian groceries.
