Banana Bread
A moist, easy banana bread that makes the most of overripe bananas — one bowl, no mixer required.
Method
1
Prep
Preheat the oven to 180°C (160°C fan) and line a loaf tin with parchment paper.
2
Mix the wet ingredients
In a bowl, mix the mashed banana with the melted butter. Stir in the sugar, eggs and vanilla.
3
Fold in the dry ingredients
Sift in the flour, baking soda and salt, and fold gently until just combined — don't overmix.
4
Bake
Pour into the prepared tin and bake for 55–65 minutes, until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean.
5
Cool and serve
Cool in the tin for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
TipThe riper — and more spotty — the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful the bread will be.
