So, it’s week 2 of lockdown and we all want to get rid of this boredom that we never knew existed!! Well, I’m here to help.
Food wastage at this uncertain time is definitely not on the agenda so if you have any extra soft bananas in that fruit bowl, then why not try out this banana bread recipe. It’s pretty much fail proof so give it a go and enjoy a lovely dessert while watching that Netflix series you’ve been glued to for the past few days (and go and shower!!).
INGREDIENTS
125 ml Butter
120 ml Sugar
1,25 ml salt
5 ml Vanilla Essence
2 Eggs
300 ml Flour
45 ml Custard Powder
20 ml Baking Powder
15 ml Milk
30-45 ml Walnuts or Almonds
finely chopped/grated
3 Bananas, mashed
METHOD
Cream the butter, gradually adding the sugar, salt, vanilla and eggs, one at a time. Sift the dry ingredients over the mixture and fold in.
Add the milk, nuts or almonds and the bananas. Bake in a large tin loaf (or use two small tins like I did) at 175°c for 45-60 mins. Serve plain or with custard.
*Cool and top with buttercream icing, grated chocolate and dust with cocoa (*optional)
ENJOY!!
