This recipe is an amalgamation of several different recipes that I’ve found in my travels and it seems to be the best by far – ask anyone at my work! =)

Ingredients:

1/3 cup Butter, softened
2/3 cup Sugar
1 cup Bananas, mashed
2 Eggs, large
2 Tablespoons Whole Milk
2 cups Flour
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 teaspoon Baking Powder  (remember to double if using British kind!)
1/2 teaspoon Baking soda
1 cup Walnuts, chopped

Method:

Preheat your oven to 175 degrees Celsius (350 F).  Grease a large loaf pan and set aside.   Cream butter and sugar together until light and creamy.  Add in mashed bananas, eggs, and milk.  Mix until incorporated.  Sift together all the dry ingredients and add to wet mixture.  Add in nuts.  Pour into large loaf pan and bake at for about an hour or until cake tester inserted in middle comes out clean.  Leave to sit for 10-15 minutes on a wire rack, then remove from pan, and continue to cool on wire rack.

HINT:
To get extra flavour from the walnuts first place them on a baking tray and put into the oven for 8-10 minutes to toast them – or until you smell their aroma.  Leave them to cool while mixing bread.

I’ve also added chocolate chips to this bread and before you say ‘ick’ try it and let me know (address on the index page) how you found it!  Sort of reminds me of a chocolate covered frozen banana but in cake form!  I know weird!
Metric/Imperial Equivalents:

85 grams / 3 ounces butter
155 grams / 5.5 ounces sugar
225 grams / 8 ounces mashed bananas
450 grams / 16 ounces flour
100 grams / 4 ounces walnuts

I have rounded these measurements to the nearest convenient amount.
