We love a good banana bread recipe in this house but sometimes I can’t be bothered creaming my butter and sugar! So here is our current favourite recipe which I’ve made so I don’t have to get out my mixer! We whipped up a loaf today which made for some lovely afternoon tea. And I have to tell you this is a favourite recipe of lots of my readers. It is such a winner! Thank you to everyone who tells me that this is their favourite banana bread recipe. If you have a thermomix you might prefer my banana bread in the thermomix recipe.
2 large mashed bananas
125g melted butter
2 Tbsp maple syrup (optional)
2 Tbsp milk
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups plain flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 Cup castor sugar (or brown)
Combine butter, maple syrup, milk, eggs, sugar and add banana to this mixture. Sift in flour and baking powder and pour into lined loaf tin. Bake for about 1 – 1 1/4 hours in 170C oven. Cool on cake rack and serve warm. If your mixture is a little too wet just add a tablespoon or two of sifted flour. Another little tip is to freeze 2 or 3 peeled bananas in a ziplock bag or freezer container, mash while slightly frozen and pop them in your cake mix…..too easy! I also added some sultanas in this loaf but little choc chips are also a great addition!
And this is what happens when you turn your back on a toddler…they reach up and grab cake for themselves rather than ask for another piece…lovely Keira, just lovely!
