Easy Banana Bread

For this bake I thought I would go back to the classic banana bread with no added extras.  I can't remember the last time I made just good old banana bread.

I do love adding fresh berries or cream cheese frosting to my banana bread.  But today, I wanted to enjoy the banana flavour with a hint of cinnamon in the banana bread.

This Easy Banana Bread is moist and delicious.  It's quick and easy to make and will became a family favourite.  It's great for breakfast, lunchboxes or just as a snack.  This banana bread is also perfect to toast and served with some butter.

Remember to let those bananas ripen to ensure a sweet and delicious banana bread.

Easy Banana Bread

Ingredients

· 125 grams butter, softened
· 1¼ cups brown sugar
· 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
· 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
· 2 eggs
· 1 cup self-raising flour
· ½ cup plain flour
· ½ teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
· 3 large over-ripe mashed banana
· ½ cup buttermilk, at room temperature

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 180°C.

2. Spray with oil a loaf tin.

3. Use an electric mixer to beat the butter, sugar, cinnamon and vanilla in a bowl until pale and creamy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.

4. Combine the plain flour and raising flour in a separate bowl. Add the flours, bicarbonate of soda, banana and buttermilk to the butter and egg mixture, in batches, stirring until just combined after each addition.

5. Spoon the mixture evenly into the prepared loaf tin, smoothing the top with the back of a spoon.

6. Bake in oven for 35-40 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the banana bread comes out clean. Remove from oven and cool in tin for 5 minutes before turning onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Tips

· Over ripe bananas are the best for this recipe.
