Ingredients
  

  • 3 Large Bananas Overripe
  • 2 Eggs
  • 90 g Butter Melted
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 185 g Caster Sugar
  • 1 tsp Baking Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 280 g Self Raising Flour

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 175°C (347°F)
  • Grease with butter and the add a piece of baking parchment width ways slightly higher than the tin for easy lift
  • Thoroughly mash up your bananas in a bowl, add the eggs, vanilla extract, melted butter and sugar. Stir till combined
  • Then add the rest of your dry ingredients. The flour, salt, baking powder. Combine until you have a batter
  • Pour the mixture into the load tin and try to even out the top as much as possible
  • Bake in the oven for between 60-75 minutes
  • Test the mixture with a skewer. If it comes out clean it's done, if it's wet put it back in the oven for a few more minutes. If you think that the top of the banana bread is browning too much gently place a bit of foil on it after about 30 minutes to prevent the top burning.
  • Leave in the loaf tin for 10-15 minutes and then transfer the loaf to a wire rack
  • Wait for the banana bread to fully cool before cutting
  • Enjoy!
