Banana Bread

I love banana bread! Thinking about it I probably love it for 2 reasons.

The first being that bananas tend to go bad so quickly and this is an easy way of making sure you get to use the last ones without throwing away food...yes I am a bit of a horder and hate throwing away food.

The second reason is it's versatility, we eat it hot, cold, with butter or coevering in hot custard. I can break it into chunks and toss it into custard to make a dessert or eat it plain. It last long too!

So how do I make it?

Ingredients:

1/2 Cup marg
1 Cup sugar
2 Cups of flour
2 large eggs
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
1 tsp vanilla essence
pinch of salt
3 or 4 large bananas mashed...I use very over ripe bananas as it makes mashing easy.

Method:

Cream butter and sugar.
Add eggs and mix well, I use a wooden spoon, no mixer required.
Add bananas and dry ingredients and mix to get a smooth dough.
Place in a well greased loaf pan and bake in an oven at 180 degrees for 40 - 45 minutes. The loaf is cooked when a knife comes out clean.

Serve any way you like it from the above ideas and enjoy!
