My Banana Bread


I compared a few different recipes for banana bread that I found online and decided on my own combination. My daughter has turned out to be quite picky with banana bread, so I’m chuffed that she likes mine!

Ingredients

1 cup self-raising flour

1 cup wholemeal self-raising flour

1 tsp bicarbonate of soda

⅔ cup soft brown sugar

1 tsp cinnamon

2 eggs, beaten

⅓ cup oil

2-4 bananas (depending on size), mashed

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C. Grease and line a 2lb loaf tin.
  2. Whisk all ingredients together in a mixing bowl or in a food processor until just combined. Pour into your prepared tin and bake for 45-50 minutes.
  3. Leave in the tin for 10 minutes, then cool on a rack.

Store in an airtight container. Suitable for freezing – if you slice it before you freeze it, you can pop it in the toaster from frozen! Frozen slices can also go in kids’ lunchboxes and they should be ready to eat at lunchtime.
