I made this with some trepidation, my family were coming for Sunday lunch and were tempted to taste it before lunch was served - they all loved it!!! It really is so simple and quick to make, and I know I'll have to make it again and again. Thank you, I'll certainly pass the recipe on to my friends

Hi nannyannie - my other half made this for her uncle and aunt on Sunday as well! They do not often come over for tea so she wanted to impress. Needless to say it did not fail - her uncle coming back for seconds - there were also general votes of appreciation from all quarters of the table - kids included :-) Maureen's Banana Bread does it again!!!!

Hi Jooles - glad you are enjoying it. My kids also go mad for it. No sooner is it out of the oven than they have demolished it - sounds like you are having the same problem - nice problem to have mind you - and also very healthy for the kids - certainly better than junk food! - Regards Kenny.

Great... I too like banana bread.if you have got cheap overripe bananas from supermarket or have bought some that are now overripe,you can peel and freeze them,even the odd one mounts up.They are great for mashing for this bread

Di Dan - Yeh it’s really simple. Just remove the banana peel and, with the back of a fork, crush the banana until the pulp is achieved. It actually helps if the banana is very ripe / over ripe as the banana is then much softer and easier to crush. Also when you are stirring in the pulp to the rest of the mixture, before baking, don’t over-stir it, and just make sure the pulp is “folded” into the fixture.
Ingredients
- 50 g Chopped Nuts (optional)
- 60 g Butter or Margarine
- 225 g Banana Pulp
- 2 (large) Eggs
- ½ tsp Salt
- ½ tsp Bicarb of Soda
- 130 g Sugar
- 2 tsp Baking Powder
- 210 g Self Raising Flour
Method
- 1. Sift together the dry ingredients.
- 2. Stir in the egg, banana pulp, butter and nuts. Do not overmix.
- 3. Pour the batter into a 100 millimeter by 200 millimeter greased and floured bread tin.
- 4. Bake for 50 mins at 160 celsius. You will know when it is done if a fork or knife is incerted into the bread - it it comes out c lean your bread is done!
- 5. Remove from the oven, allow to cool, remove from baking tin and serve.

nice and moist only problem my son and husband have eaten it all
I used a 25 cm loaf tin which was just right
i would use this recipe again
its a great way to use up bananas that are very ripe, I would say from experience its not worth doing with green bananas or very firm ones

I made this dish because I had bought some brown sugar I needed using up and a few bananas going over-ripe. This recipe is really easy to make and tastes great - was a big hit with my family.
