A classic banana bread recipe. With only a few ingredients and less than 30 minutes to prepare, this moist and delicious banana bread makes a lovely sweet brunch or light dessert.
Ingredients
- 113 g unsalted butter softened
- 150 g light muscovado sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 3 overripe bananas mashed
- 280 g plain flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp bicarbonate soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsb ground mixed spices
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 180C/160C Fan/350F/Gas 4
- Mix the butter and the sugar on medium speed for 5 minutes, until creamy. Add the eggs, little by little, mixing them well. Use a stand mixer fitted with the beater, or a hand mixer.
- Add in the mashed bananas, the flour, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda, salt, vanilla extract and the ground mixed spices over the top. Fold them using a metal spoon.
- Pour the mixture into a greased and lined 900g (9x5in) loaf tin. Add some pecans (if using) on top. Bake the loaf for 1 hour, until golden, and a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Leave to cool in the tin for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Slice using a bread knife so the slices won't cut crumbly. Serve with or without whipped ricotta with honey.
