Banana Bread
· 8 servings
Beat the banana mixture
Cream the butter with the sugar. Add the eggs and keep beating. Mash the bananas and mix them into the batter. Continue beating until all the ingredients come together into a smooth, compact mixture.
Mix the dry ingredients
Stir the baking powder, salt and cinnamon into the flour and mix well. Combine both parts of the batter together to make a fragrant dough.
Add something extra
Stir in extras to taste. We went with coconut flakes and roughly chopped chocolate. Various nuts also work wonderfully — pecans, for instance.
Grease the pan and bake the bread
Grease a loaf pan with butter and dust it with fine flour. Bake in an oven preheated to 180°C for about an hour. Use the classic toothpick test — it should come out clean, with no batter sticking to it. Turn the loaf out and let it cool.
