Banna Loaf

Sweet, Healthy, Filling and tasty! This recipe is fab and a great way to get younger children to eat their fruit, as well as satisfy their sweet tooth without sending them up the wall. This is a great lunch box filler as well as fab for a healthy treat when your dieting :) Another great thing about this recipe is it makes the best raw batter ever if your a "lick-the-bowl" kind of person!

  • 115g Butter
  • 200g White sugar
  • 2 Eggs
  • 340g Mashed Banana (approx. 2-3)
  • 250g Plain flour
  • 1 tsp Baking powder
  1. Preheat an oven to 170 degrees C, and grease a loaf tin.
  2. Cream the butter and sugar together until fluffy/smooth, then carefully beat in with the eggs, followed by the banana.
  3. Sieve in the flour and baking powder and mix together but stop as soon as the mix is combined.
  4. Carefully pour into your loaf tin, avoid any spillages on the side as this will most likely burn. Bake for around 1 hour until cooked all the way through, you will be able to tell if this is so when if you poke a skewer through the center, no uncooked mixture sticks to the skewer.
So simple and yet so tasty :) And if you have a busy schedule this is ideal as the preparation takes very little time, and you can get on with other tasks when your waiting for it to bake! This bread freezes down really well too if you find it makes a little too much :)

Sorry about the lapse this week, I am currently struggling to upload the photos! :L
