Method

  • step 1

    Grown ups: Preheat the oven to 180C/ 160C fan/ gas mark 4. Grease and line a 450g loaf/1lb tin with baking parchment.

  • step 2

    Children: Weigh the flour, baking powder, cinnamon and sultanas into a bowl and mix with a wooden spoon. Then weigh the butter, vanilla essence, egg, milk and mashed bananas and put into another bowl or jug and mix with a small balloon whisk or fork. Pour the ‘wet’ banana mixture into the ‘dry’ flour mixture and combine thoroughly with a wooden spoon. Weighing needs to be very accurate when baking so help older children to measure carefully. Younger children can also get involved by spooning or pouring into the scales with adult supervision. Younger children can also beat the egg with a fork and mash the banana with a potato masher.

  • step 3

    Grown ups: Pour the cake mixture into the prepared tin and bake for 30 - 40 mins or until a skewer inserted in the middle comes out clean. Remove from the oven, allow to cool in the tin for 10 mins then turn out.

  • step 4

    Children: Drizzle with agave syrup if using.

..An update. After 3 hours in the oven, the top of the bread is now well overdone, but the inside remains liquid. I am totally convinced that there is an error in the ingredients quantities in this recipe!!

question

I'd like to ask the writer whether she has tested this recipe? I've had it in the oven for nearly 2 hours and it's still liquid in the middle. I do wonder whether the amount of flour is a misprint- Should it be 225g rather than 125g? Other banana breads with 3 bananas in use around 200-250g of…

A brilliant recipe😄 I used really ripe bananas and the bread tasted nice

Made this twice now. Such a flat, small, dense little loaf - a real sad sack. Tastes nice but doesn’t half look sorrowful.
