👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan or a round cake pan.

   💡 Tip: Using parchment paper can also help prevent sticking.
2. 2

   In a large bowl, combine the mashed bananas, sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, water, vanilla extract, and grated ginger (if using). Mix well until thoroughly combined.

   💡 Tip: Ensure bananas are very ripe for maximum sweetness and moisture.
3. 3

   In a separate bowl, whisk together the cream of rice cereal, baking soda, salt, and nutmeg.

   💡 Tip: Using cream of rice cereal provides a quick and easy way to get a fine rice texture.
4. 4

   Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.

   💡 Tip: Overmixing can lead to a tough bread.
5. 5

   Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.

6. 6

   Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

   💡 Tip: Baking time may vary depending on the pan used.
7. 7

   Let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.

   💡 Tip: Cooling completely is important for the texture and to prevent it from being gummy.
