To Banana Bread, or not to Banana Bread!
But of course, without question, I have now become a banana bread diva. As me and mine are into making them on a regular basis. Another one made as of this morning, and filling the apartment with such a glorious smell. I would save you all a slice, but then, you would have to get in order to eat it. So I’ll just tell you later how good it tasted, okay?
So, the recipe for such a divine food of the gods? Easy … I separate everything into 3 bowls. Mashed bananas in one, flour, cinnamon and baking powder in another, and the butter and sugar mixture in a third larger bowl. Eggs usually in a glass jug.
Ingredients:
- 1 ½ cups plain flour
- ½ cup fine sugar
- ½ cup soft butter
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 3 large soft bananas, squished
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tbs baking powder
How to:
- Pre-heat oven to 350, and grease and line a loaf tin.
- Blend the butter and sugar in a bowl till white and fluff.
- Slowly add all the other ingredients till thoroughly blended, make sure not to over work the mixture.
- Turn the mixture out into the lined loaf tin, and bake for 1 hour or till golden brown on top and firm to the touch.
- Remove from tin and let stand on wire rack to cool.
AND STRAIGHT FROM THE OVEN …
I love banana bread and do my own (lighter) version Alexandra!!!
Oh, you will have to share your recipe with me, Sophie. Lighter how?
I love banana bread, bananas are about the only fruit I eat regularly. I made it too in the past and I remember everyone at work loved it when I brought it with me. It’s still not so very common here, people stick with regular cake or apple cake very often. It’s so easy to make though, even I can manage it 😊😁
Oh, you and I both, Inge. This is my favourite thing to bake and, as you said, it really is so easy to do. I hope you give it a go, and find people to share with. Hmm, and apple cake? Wow, haven’t done that in a long, long time either. Must give that one a go too, soon. ☺️
I’d leave the cinnamon out as I hate it, but otherwise, yum!
Ha! Ha! We put it in because it just adds a little something to the depth of flavour, but go ahead. Others put chocolate chips in, and, well, I guess you could add whatever rocks your boat. Hope you’re having a good weekend, Sweetie. Take care of yourself and your puppies.
