Put those ripe bananas to good use! 🍌
If your bananas are starting to go brown and look a bit unappetising, instead of just throwing them in the bin, why not give them a new lease of life to share with friends.
INGREDIENTS
- 2 medium very ripe bananas, peeled and mashed with a fork
- 140g butter, salter or unsalted, softened
- 140g caster sugar
- 140g self-raising flour
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1 tsp baking powder
Optional
- 50g icing sugar
- handful dried banana chips
- chocolate chips (if you want a treat!)
METHOD
- Pre-heat oven to 180ºC.
- Butter a 2lb loaf tin (you can get these pretty cheap from most supermarkets, or online), and line the base and sides with baking paper.
- Cream/ whisk your softened butter and caster sugar together until light and fluffy. Then slowly add your beaten eggs with a little bit of self-raising flour.
- Fold in the remaining flour, baking powder
- Pour the mixture into your loaf tin and bake in the oven for around 50 minutes. You'll want to keep checking on it after 30 minutes - test it with a skewer (it should be able to be inserted and removed cleanly) to see when it's ready.
- Leave it to cool in the tin for 10 minutes and then remove.
- If you'd like to decorate the top; mix icing sugar with 2-3 tsp water to drizzle on the top. If you've got some dried banana chips or chocolate chips, sprinkle these along the top.
Enjoy!
