Banana Bread

Over ripe bananas are – in my opinion- a very common occurrence during the summer months, and because fridge bananas tend to go black very soon, the best way to handle these is to freeze them to be used for ice cream recipes later on, or …make banana bread which can then be consumed over the next few days, unless your family is like mine in which case its gone within a few hours. Sigh….

This is a simple recipe, which can be mixed in a bowl using a fork and spoon with no need to use a whisk, electric or hand held, or a standing mixer. It uses everyday ingredients and makes a tender but moist sponge cake.

Perfect for afternoon tea – pool, beachside, or simply at your kitchen table.

I hope you give this a try as you will be delightfully surprised.

 

 

Ingredients

2 to 3 very ripe bananas - around 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 cups mashed.
1/3 cup (75g) melted unsalted butter
3/4 cup granulated or caster sugar (150g)- if you like it less sweet then use 1/2 cup (100g)
1 1/2 cups (200g) Self Raising flour
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt

Instructions

1
Pre heat oven 175 C and butter a 4 x 8 inch loaf pan.
2
In a bowl, mash the bananas using a fork until relatively smooth and mix in the melted butter.
3
Mix in the salt, sugar, beaten egg and vanilla extract then finally fold in the flour. Mix to just incorporate.
4
Pour into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 45 mins in the middle shelf of your oven. Check to ensure it is cooked by inserting a toothpick in the centre of the loaf - it should come out clean. If not, bake for a further five minutes, repeating the process for as long as it needs to be baked. If your find that the loaf is browning too much, cover the top of the loaf with foil to avoid further browning.
5
Remove from oven and allow to cool for five minutes before removing from the pan and cooling completely on a wire rack. When ready to serve cut with a bread knife to avoid crumbling the slices too much.
