This is a little tweaked recipe from the adorable Mary Berry,the rather nice Banana Loaf which is really nice and moist.I tweaked the recipe to make it into a chocolate banana loaf so that the kids will eat it,they sadly won't touch the normal banana loaf,weird kids! I also do not tell S that it has bananas in it or she will have a fit and refuse to eat it forever more. I tend to double the recipe so I can get away with not making it every week.
Ingredients for the plain banana loaf
100g softened butter
175g caster sugar
2 eggs
2 mashed ripe bananas
225g sr flour
1 teaspoon of baking powder
2 tablespoons of milk
For the chocolate version omit 70g of flour for coco powder.
If using plain flour use 2 teaspoons of baking powder per 150g of plain flour,also add 1 teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda to the recipe.
Method
Really easy,mash banana with a fork in a large mixing bowl,add everything else and give a good mix.
Grease and line a 2LB loaf tin and put the mix in,try to get it slightly dipped in the middle so it doesn't rise too much and domes.
Bake at 180*/fan 160*/Gas mark 4 for 1 hour.
Once cooked leave in tin for 10 minutes then remove from tin onto a wire cooling rack
Not the best looking I've made but tastes good!
Sliced and ready to be wrapped for the freezer to stick into packed lunches,no need to defrost either as by lunchtime they will be perfect to eat.
