I took this into work for a fundraiser this week and it went down well, a couple of people asked for the recipe so here goes 🙂
This is a great way to use up those bananas that are a tad overripe, just past edible!
Ingredients
- 2 bananas
- 2oz Butter (I use tub Stork because it’s already soft!)
- 5oz Caster Sugar
- 8oz Self-Raising Flour
- 2 Eggs
- a pinch of salt
- 100g Milk Chocolate
Method
- Preheat the oven to 190 degrees C
- Mash up the bananas in a small bowl
- In another bowl, cream together the butter and sugar
- Beat in 2 eggs (I use an electric whisk for this)
- Sieve in the flour and salt and fold in
- Add the bananas and mix well
- Break a bar of chocolate into small pieces and mix these in
- Grease and line a 1 1/2lb loaf tin. That or buy loaf tin paper liners, I have some that are slightly siliconised and give such a great finish! My friends thought the last I was made was bought because of this!
- Pour the mixture into the tin and bake for an hour. One oven I used to use used to burn around the edges so I covered it with foil partway through, so keep an eye on it.
- When an hours up, test with a knife and if it comes out clean, put it on a wire rack to cool, else pop it in for a little longer
