You will need:
- 1 x Mixing Bowl
- 1 x Medium Loaf Tin (approx 2lbs)
- 1 x Sieve
- 1 x Hand Held Mixer
- 1 x Fork (for mashing bananas)
- 1 x Metal Skewer
Ingredients
- 115g Butter
- 190g Caster Sugar
- 2 Large Eggs
- 250g Self-Raising Flour
- 1 Tsp Baking Soda
- 1/2 Tsp Vanilla Extract
- 3 Large Bananas
Recipe
- Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F/ Fan Oven 160°C/ Gas Mark 4
- Grease a medium loaf tin
- Cream the sugar and the butter in a bowl with a hand-held mixer until pale and fluffy
- Add in one egg and sieve a little flour and mix through with mixer, repeat with the other egg and the rest of flour and add baking soda
- Mix until everything is smooth
- Peel the bananas and mash with a fork
- Add mashed bananas and vanilla extract to the bowl with the other ingredients and mix gently
- Pour the mix into a well-greased loaf tin and place in the oven for approximately 50 minutes
- After 25 minutes, you may want to cover with tinfoil to stop the top browning too much (only do this step if necessary)
- To check the bread is ready, insert a metal skewer into the centre of the loaf. If the skewer comes out clean, your bread is ready. If not, leave in the oven for a further few minutes, checking at regular intervals
- Remove the loaf from the tin and leave on a wire rack to cool
- Cut yourself a slice & enjoy while still slightly warm!
