banana bread

When John works from home or perhaps over the weekend he is often looking for something to 'munch on'!

The Banana Bread I made earlier this week always goes down well.

Well it was easy to decide what to bake considering I had two banana's that were well past their "use by date" sitting in the fruit basket.

The recipe I used is as follows:

1 1/2 cups of SR flour
1 cup sultanas
1/3 cup brown sugar    

1 tablespoon of honey

2 or 3 ripe bananas

2 eggs

1 teaspoon of vanilla essence

I placed the flour in to a large bowl, added a cup of sultanas with the brown sugar.

Everything else went into the blender and was whizzed until it looked smooth. I added it to the flour / sugar mix and stirred.

Place it into a greased loaf pan, sprinkle some sugar and cinnamon on top and pop it into the oven at 180 C deg for about 45 mins.

You can vary the above by adding chopped nuts, or use 2/3 cup sugar instead of the sugar / honey combo I use.

You can also omit the sultanas.

If you have sultanas that look kind of old and 'dry', pop them into a microwave safe dish with a half cup orange juice for a minute or two to 'plump' them a bit before adding to the above flour / sugar mix.

When the bread has finished baking, remove from the pan and let cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.


enjoy a bit of Tasty Fun!
