Banana Bread

I had a few bananas and eggs that needed using up, so decided banana bread was on the days agenda. The smell when it's baking is amazing! Really easy to make, give it a go.

Ingredients:

140g Butter , softened, plus extra to grease  
140g Self Raising Flour                                        
140g caster sugar                                                                                               
2 large eggs , beaten
1tsp Baking Powder  
2 Ripe Bananas - mashed
2tbsp Golden Syrup (optional)

This time around I added a handful of white chocolate chips because they were lying around. Milk and dark ones would work too. Or leave plain!                                        

Method:

1. Preheat oven to 160/180/ Gas 4. Grease and line a loaf tin.
2. Cream butter and sugar till fluffy.
3. Fold in eggs and flour.
4. Add golden syrup and baking powder. Combine.
5. Tip in mashed bananas and chocolate if using. Combine.
6. Pour into tin and bake for about an hour. But check after 45mins as it will depend on the tin you're using. A skewer or knife should come out clean.
7. Serve warm with butter or maybe some vanilla ice cream - yummy!
