BANANA BREAD RECIPE
This recipe is one I‘ve made time and time again. In fact I've been making this foolproof banana bread recipe since I was a child. There‘s no better way to use up those very ripe bananas lost in your fruit bowl. My daughter knows she’s in for a real tea time treat when she wakes up from her afternoon nap with the welcoming aroma of freshly baked banana bread wafting through the flat! Nothing beats eating it whilst still warm with a lovely cup of tea!
Ingredients:
3 ripe bananas
1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
2 tbsp boiling milk
100g butter
115g castor sugar
2 eggs beaten
225g plain flour
1 tsp baking powder
Pinch of cinnamon
Method:
Pre heat the oven to 180C Line and grease a 900g loaf tin.
Cream the butter and sugar in a medium sized bowl either by hand or mixer.
Peel the bananas and mash in a small bowl. Dissolve the bicarbonate of soda in the milk and then add them to the bowl, together the remaining ingredients until thoroughly mixed.
Turn into the tin, smooth the top and bake for 1 hour to 1 1/4, or until the loaf is well risen and golden brown.
Once cooled allowed to cool for a 5 minutes in the tin then turn out onto a wire rack. Once cooled, dust with icing sugar if desired. Slice to serve.
Total time (prep and cooking): 1 hour 30 minutes.
Suitable for: Vegetarians.
Other meal ideas: Also Delicious served with butter, Greek yoghurt or with my raw chocolate mousse recipe. Alternatively if don't have a loaf tin you could make banana muffins instead.
