Not sure about you, but in our house no one likes an over-ripe banana! It's on of those fruits that looses its taste the minute it gets too ripe...yes we are fussy banana eaters! However there is good news for those over ripe bananas :) When life gives you too many bananas, make BANANA BREAD!
The recipe itself is an age old one, tried and tested by most bakers (and mums) and here is mine, the eggless version. Turns out soft, moist and sweet everytime - a hit with my little one too which is a great way to get more fruit in :)
Ingredients: One very ripe banana, 1 cup self raising flour, half cup brown sugar, half cup milk, 2 tablespoons melted butter, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon vanilla essence.
Make: In a bowl mash the banana well with a spoon, should be well mashed but not a smooth paste. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, butter, oil and vanilla essence. Mix well with a fork (to ensure the cake will be light and fluffy not thick and heavy). Add the mashed banana and mix lightly. Pour into your baking tray (a bread tray is recommended) and bake in a preheated fan forced oven at 160 degrees for 30 to 40 minutes, when baked, it will bounce back when lightly pressed in the middle.
Enjoy your freshly baked Banana Bread :)
