Banana Bread

On Sunday, my brother and I simply decided the situation was untenable. We hopped into the car, drove to the local fruit shop, purchased a kilo of Lady Finger Bananas for $6 and scoffed the lot for lunch. It had been months since we had seen a banana so we relished our banana bender but luckily enough had the foresight to purchase some overripe Cavendish Bananas. So after some research I decided to trial this popular Banana Bread recipe from Taste.com.

Start by preheating the oven to 180°C, lining and lightly greasing a standard loaf tin. Then take a large mixing bowl and add 1/4 cup sifted plain flour, 1 3/4 cups sifted self raising flour, 2/3 cup brown sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon.



Make a well in the center and 1/2 cup skim milk, two whisked eggs, 50g of cooled melted butter and combine.


Mash and add two medium bananas and a generous handful of walnuts to the mixture.


Your mixture should then look like this. Place this rather grotesque mixture, into your lined pan and bake in the oven for 50 minutes or until an inserted skewer comes out clean.


Allow your Banana Bread to cool, before removing and enjoying it. Banana Bread is an amazing one bowl wonder that tastes even better the next day!

  1. I find your lack of brandy-soaked sultanas disturbing.

    My favourite banana bread recipe is Nigella Lawson's in "How to be a domestic godess", but you have to almost double the bananas.

  2. Probably because I think sultanas are akin to Satan. :)
