  • 2 bananas overripe bananas
  • 125 g butter unsalted
  • 150 g caster sugar super fine sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 egg
  • 190 g self-raising flour cake flour

Metric - US Customary

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas3 Grease and line a 2lb loaf tin
  • Melt the butter, sugar and vanilla over a low heat. Once it has all melted together remove from the heat and pour into a big mixing bowl along with the mashed up banana.
  • Crack in a cup and beat before adding to the banana mixture.
  • I like to add a little beaten egg, then some of the flour, then some milk, then egg again etc, until I have used all the ingredients up. Toss in the walnuts and stir in.
  • Spoon the batter into the prepared tin and bake for 35 minutes or until risen and golden and a little skewar comes out clean.
  • Let it cool on a wire rack and serve with a good cup of tea.

Walnuts are optional to this banana bread recipe but do add a lovely crunch and extra flavour. Pecan nuts work well too.
