Banana Bread

This was a semi-made up recipe I came up with in order to use up the black bananas that were sitting in my fruit bowl. Always use over-ripe bananas when making banana bread, they seriously add to the moisture and flavour.

Serves 6-8

Ingredients: 

• 5oz Plain Flour
• 4oz Caster Sugar
• 2oz Butter
• 1 Egg
• 2 Extra-ripe Bananas, mashed
• 1tsp Baking Powder
• Splash of milk

Simple Steps:

1. Pre-heat the oven to 180°C
2. Beat butter and sugar together in a bowl.
3. Add the egg, mashed banana and milk and mix together.
4. Gently fold in the flour and baking powder.
5. Pour the mixture into a lined loaf tin.
6. Bake in the oven for 1 hour.
7. Allow to completely cool on a cooling rack before eating.

Tips and Tricks:

• Banana bread keeps for days and can actually taste better the day after baking. Keep in a tin and enjoy!
• You can also add things to the recipe to add more flavour. Try a handful of chopped dates or chocolate chips.
