Banana Bread and Friends

Overripe bananas + need to bring something for brunch with the gal pals (and kids) = Banana bread. What a lovely equation!!


This recipe from www.taste.com.au  is easy and scrumptious. Everything you need is usually in the pantry:

I love big thick slices!

Ingredients:

1 3/4 cups self-raising flour

1/4 cup plain flour

1 tsp ground cinnamon

2/3 cup brown sugar (firmly packed)

1/2 cup skim milk

2 eggs, lightly whisked

50g butter, melted and cooled

2 overripe bananas, mashed

Step 1: Preheat oven to 180C (160C fan forced). Line or grease a loaf pan (I used a Chef's Toolbox silicone loaf pan and I don't have to line it).


Step 2: Sift the flours, cinnamon and sugar into a large bowl.

Step 3: Combine, in a separate bowl, the milk eggs, melted butter and banana. 

Step 4: Add banana mixture to the flour mixture. Stir until just combined (don't overmix).


Step 5 : Bake for 45-50 minutes (mine took 55 minutes). 

Step 6: Make sure to eat this lovely bread with the company of good friends!
