Banana Bread is a staple in my house as it's such an easy one to whip up when your wanting something sweet and savoury at the same time. I love this combination of fruit and nuts
and its lovely toasted with some butter but its equally delicious on its own. The step by step guide will help you if you have never attempted one on your own. Its a great one for the kids to be involved with too. Why not have a try and let us know how you got on in the comments below.
Cream the softened butter by mixing with a spoon till it's smooth
Add the eggs and beat them together with the butter
Combine till smooth
Peel the bananas and add them to the bowl
Mash them down with a fork but don't worry about getting them smooth-a few lumps of banana are fine.
Add the honey and stir till everything is combined...Again don't worry about any lumps
Add the flour and baking powder
Fold the flour and b. powder into the butter mix
Add the cinnamon,pecans raisins and vanilla and continue folding
Add the oats and stir till everything is combined
Line a loaf tin with greaseproof paper and transfer the mix into this. Scatter over some more oats
Bake at 175° for 45-55 mns or until a skewer comes out dry. You may need to cover with baking paper after 20mns to stop the top browning too much
Remove from the oven and allow to cool before slicing
If you don't have a loaf tin you can do individual cupcakes
Bake at 175°for 30-35mns-again cover halfway through to prevent burning the tops.
serve warm with a cuppa.
