Not Another Banana Bread

Don't give me that look. I know you've seen perhaps what some would consider ENOUGH of banana breads, from this food blog, but I have a seriously legit reason for writing about another Banana Bread.

A) Yes, I had a couple of bananas going off. Let me clarify, it's not because I don't like bananas, I'm even eating a banana as I type this-it's simply because it's not my favourite fruit. It's HIS favourite fruit, which if I don't participate in the banana eating, they will simply get tossed into the bin. We can't have that happening. We can, but we can't.

B) There's a Banana Bread Event taking place at Not Quite Nigella. So you see, I had no choice. How could I possibly not take part after making about 5 Banana Breads since starting this food blog?

C) I love baking and yes, I happen to love baking Banana Breads. Their EASY, their TASTY and I need it for my Cuppa.


So here's my banana bread, it was lovely, not as sensational as my version of Nigella's Banana Bread. You have made it right? Scandalous, if you didn't.



Another Banana Bread

200g of self-raising flour
pinch salt
1/4 tspn bicarbonate soda
75g unsalted butter
100 light brown sugar
1 beaten egg
50g of chopped walnuts
handful of chocolate chips
about 4 cut up strawberries
a Tbspn of golden syrup
2 large ripe bananas, mashed

Set oven at 180C. Grease and line a 1 lb loaf tin.

Sift the flour, salt and soda into a bowl. Add all the other ingredients, except the golden syrup, and beat well together. If the mixture is too dry add a couple of Tbspn of milk.

Spoon into the prepared tin. Bake in the center of the oven for about an hour or until firm in the middle. Leave to cool inside the tin and then turn onto a wire rack.

Brush the top of the loaf with extra golden syrup while it's still warm, to give it a lovely glaze. Serve warm with a touch of butter (or not).
