Mi Goreng Graduate: Banana Loaf

Time: 1 hr

Price: $

Difficulty: 1/5

Banana loaf is an absolute classic! This recipe serves you with the perfect way to use up those neglected bananas you never got round to eating, and only takes a few minutes to whip up a tasty treat. Best served warm with a slice of butter, share with your flat or keep it to yourself… I won’t tell ;)

Ingredients / Equipment

  • 1 ¾ cups plain Flour 
  • 3 tsp baking powder 
  • ¼ tsp baking soda
  • 1 pinch of salt
  • ½ cup white sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • ½ cup milk 
  • 1 tsp vanilla essence
  • 75 g butter (melted) (softened is unrealistic in these temperatures)
  • 2 large ripe bananas (mashed)
  • 1 cup choc chips or chopped chocolate 
  • Loaf tin 
  • Baking paper 

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees celsius.
  2. Add your dry ingredients into a large bowl: flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and sugar. Mix until combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine your mashed banana, milk, eggs, vanilla essence and butter. Mix well.
  4. Create a well in the centre of your dry ingredients to add the wet ingredients. Mix until combined, being careful not to over mix! 
  5. Stir through the chocolate chips.
  6. Line the loaf tin with baking paper. Pour the mixture into the lined tin, making sure to wipe away anything that gets caught on the sides.
  7. Bake for 45-50 mins. You will know it is cooked when you put a knife in and it comes out clean (without any raw mix sticking to it).
  8. Cool for 15 mins in the tin and then turn out to cool for another 5 mins.
  9. Slice and enjoy!
