If you’re looking for something a little sweet and delicious for brekkie, this recipe is the one for you. Not to be fooled though, this bread can be enjoyed at any point during the day. I love this recipe because you will probably have most of the ingredients in your pantry and it’s a great way to use up your over-ripe bananas.
Serves: 4-6 | Prep. time: 7 -10 minutes | Baking time: 45 minutes
Ingredients
- 4 ripe bananas, mashed
- 1 1/2 cups plain flour
- 1/2 cup caster sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/3 cup canola oil
- 1 egg, whisked
- 80g walnuts, chopped (or any other nut you prefer)
1. Preheat the oven to 180°c.
2. Line a loaf tin with baking paper.
3. In a large bowl place the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon and walnuts and stir well.
4. In a separate small bowl, whisk the egg and oil together and pour into the dry mixture, stir briefly.
5. Add the mashed banana and fold in until just combined.
6. Pour the mixture into the prepared tin and bake for 45-50 minutes or until a skewer runs clean.
7. Allow to cool for 15 minutes and then serve with butter.
Notes
If you don’t like walnuts, feel free to use any other type of nut, such as pecans.
Also, you may substitute the banana with any other fruits you enjoy, such as, raspberries or blueberries.
