Bananas are always popular in our house, simple banana splits with squirty cream, sprinkles, mini marshmallows and smarties are a very popular desert in our house! Simple and easy.
But while everyone seems to be baking banana bread at the moment, I thought I'd have a go too! I've run out of plain flour, which is what was recommended by most ingredients I looked at, so I used self-raising flour with a bit of baking powder 'just in case'! I also added some cinnamon as I love it!
It turned out really well and all the family really enjoyed it.
Ingredients
300g self raising flour
1 tsp baking powder
125g butter
225g sugar
3 free-range eggs
5 small ripe bananas, mashed with approx 4-5 tbsp whole milk
1 tsp cinnamon
Method
Preheat the oven to 160C (fan oven)
Measure out the flour into a bowl and add the baking powder and cinnamon.
In a separate bowl, cream the butter and sugar together, add the eggs followed by the mashed bananas.
Add in the dry flour mixture and mix well with a spoon or electric hand whisk for a couple of minutes.
Add the mixture to a lined or greased loaf tin.
Place in the oven and bake for about 45-50 mins, or until well-risen and golden-brown. For muffin size, 20-25 minutes.
After removing from the oven, let cool in the tin for 5-10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool.
Enjoy on its own, with ice cream or custard.
