Ingredients

  • 230g butter, unsalted
  • 420g caster sugar
  • 4 eggs
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp baking soda
  • 920g all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 fresh vanilla pod, seeds
  • 6 large bananas, very ripe
  • 220g walnuts, roughly chopped

Method

  • STEP 1
    Preheat the oven to 180C.
  • STEP 2
    Peel & mash the bananas (I use a potato masher - you'll see that they have a surprising amount of liquid in them!)
  • STEP 3
    Chop the walnuts (I like to chop half of them finely, the other half quite "chunky").
  • STEP 4
    Cream together butter and sugar. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating after each addition.
  • STEP 5
    Sift all the dry ingredients together; add to creamed mixture.
  • STEP 6
    Stir in the mashed bananas and chopped nuts.
  • STEP 7
    Pour the dough into 2 well-greased loaf pans (or how about 1 loaf and 12 muffins?); for about 1 hour 15min (fan assisted) or 1 hour 45min (non fan-assisted), until a toothpick inserted in centre comes out clean.
