Banana Bread

Ingredients:

  • 4 ripe bananas
  • 1 egg
  • 2/3 cups caster sugar
  • 1tsp vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup vegetable oil
  • 1 ½ cups flour
  • 1 ¼ tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp bicarbonate of soda
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • A pinch of salt
  • 1 cup chocolate chunks (optional)

Method:

Pre-heat the oven on 180c

  1. Mash the bananas in a bowl.
  2. Mix in the egg, caster sugar, vanilla extract and oil.
  3. Mix in the flour, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda, cinnamon and salt.
  4. If adding chocolate chunks, coat them in a sprinkle of flour, and then add into the batter (this should help stop them sinking to the bottom).
  5. Pour into a lined loaf tin.
  6. Bake for 45 - 60 mins. This will depend on your oven. Keep an eye on it and test it by poking a knife in the middle. Once the knife comes out clean, the cake is cooked. Sometimes a little gooey is ok and quite nice actually!
