Prue DeAraugoFood Lovers Friday #1 - Banana Bread
November 12th 2009 22:34
Food Lovers Friday is a first for Parent's Precinct. Every Friday I will post a tried and tested recipe guaranteed to please the family.
If you’re anything like me, the changing of the season has ensured that winter’s mundane rotation of warmers are done and dusted. I’m looking to feel inspired and reinvigorated about spring/summer meals and nothing beats discovering and sharing a new recipe to liven things up.
The first is possibly the most delicious Banana Bread you will ever try. Perfect for a picnic, garden party or lunchtime treat. On a side note, when I plan to make this I have to hide the four required bananas, as this favoured fruit does not last long in my house! But my forward planning is oh so worth it when I have this quick, easy and tasty treat as a welcome addition to everyone’s lunchbox.
Heather’s Banana Bread
250g plain flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
125g unsalted butter (soft)
250g caster sugar
4 ripe bananas mashed
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
175g chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 180 degrees
Sift flour and baking powder into a large bowl.
Mix butter, sugar, banana, eggs, vanilla and chocolate chips in a smaller bowl, then tip into dry ingredients and stir to combine (don’t over mix).
Tip into greased and floured 19cm x 11cm loaf tin and bake for 1 hour 15 minutes.
Cool in tin 5 minutes then tip onto wire rack to cool.
If you have a fabulous, favourite recipe that you’d like to share, feel free to send it through.
