Banana Loaf

This banana loaf is one of my favourite!

Ingredients:

  • 140 gm soften butter
  • little more butter for the tin
  • 140 gm soft brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs beaten
  • 140 self raising flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 2 very ripe banana mashed
  • 1 tsp mix spice
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon

Recipe:

  • Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4.
  • Butter a loaf tin and line the base and sides with baking parchment.
  • Cream 140g softened butter and 140g caster sugar until light and fluffy, then slowly add 2 beaten large eggs with a little of the 140g flour.
  • Fold in the remaining flour, 1 tsp baking powder, spices and 2 mashed bananas.
  • Pour the mixture into the prepared tin and bake for about 50 mins, or until cooked through. Check the loaf at 5-min intervals by testing it with a skewer (it should be able to be inserted and removed cleanly), as the time may vary depending on the shape of your loaf tin.
  • Cool in the tin for 10 mins, then remove to a wire rack.
