Banana bread recipe

Hey lovelies,

I’ve wanted to make banana bread for ages, my niece makes it look so easy, so I thought I should give it a go, I decided to make this banana bread after seeing the recipe on YouTube & I got their cookbook. This is the one I made.

Here’s what you need

Equipment

• A mixing bowl
• An electric hand whisk or a whisk & incredibly strong arms
• A spatula to scrape the mixture off the sides of the bowl while mixing
• 2 loaf tins, plus butter & parchment to grease them (I used dairy free flora)
• A knife to loosen loaves when baked
• Measuring spoons & cups
• A bowl/plate & fork to mash bananas

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups of butter, softened (I used dairy free flora)
• 2 cups of sugar
• 4 eggs
• 4 bananas, mashed (the browner, the better)
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 cup of milk (I used almond milk)
• 2 tsp baking soda (I used baking powder)
• 1 1/2 tsp salt
• 4 cups of flour (I used self raising flour)

Instructions

• Preheat your oven to approx 175 C fan, 350 F
• In the mixing bowl, whisk butter until creamy
• Add sugar & whisk together
• Add eggs, mashed banana, milk, vanilla extract, baking powder & salt, whisk together
• Add half the flour & whisk together, then add the remainder of the flour & whisk until mixed
• Grease both tins & fill them half way with the mixture
• Bake in the oven for 50 to 60 minutes, until done
• To check if they are done, stick a cocktail stick/toothpick in the centre & if it comes out clean, it’s done, the sides should also be coming away from the pan edges.
• Remove loaves from the tins & allow to cool (if you can wait that long).

 

I had some as soon as I took them out of the tin, still warm, with some butter on, it was delicious.

I had another serving later, after it had cooled down, also with butter on & it was still delicious.

If you make it, I’d love to hear about it.

Have a fabulous week.

Bye for now.
