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
- Preheat the oven to 180 degrees celsius.
- Add your dry ingredients into a large bowl: flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and sugar. Mix until combined.
- In a separate bowl, combine your mashed banana, milk, eggs, vanilla essence and butter. Mix well.
- Create a well in the centre of your dry ingredients to add the wet ingredients. Mix until combined, being careful not to over mix!
- Stir through the chocolate chips.
- 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.
- 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).
- Cool for 15 mins in the tin and then turn out to cool for another 5 mins.
- Slice and enjoy!
