Servings: 1 loaf
Equipment
- 23cm x 12cm 5cm pan size
Ingredients
- 1 cup/4 medium bananas very ripe and finely mashed
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup/100 grams light brown sugar
- ½ /130 grams butter melted
- 2 cups/300 grams self raising flour note
- ½ tsp fine sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven at 180℃/356℉ (no fan). Line a 23cm x 12cm 5cm pan size with butter, cooking spray and/or baking paper.
- In a large bowl, add the 1 cup of finely mashed bananas. Followed by eggs, sugar and melted butter. Whisk until well combined.
- Add self-raising flour and salt. Gently mix until just combined and there aren't any flour pockets left. Avoid overmixing.
- Pour the batter into the lined baking tin and spread evenly. Take a butter knife and slice the surface of the batter with the knife - this will deliver a straight crack.
- Bake for 1 hour, until it's dark golden brown in colour. Once ready, remove and allow to cool in the baking tin for 5-10 minutes. Remove and slice as desired.
- Serve with salted butter and dig in!
Notes
Note 1: Substitute the self-raising flour with regular flour and baking powder if you prefer - 2 cups all-purpose flour and 2 1/2 tsp baking powder.
