Ingredients

For the filling
225g/8 oz Flour
4 bananas
1 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
110gr/4oz caster sugar
1 egg
75ml Sunflower Oil
A couple of drops of vanilla essence
Chopped walnuts

Sift flour, salt and cinnamon into a mixing bowl and stir in sugar. Add egg, sunflower oil and vanilla essence to the mixture and stir gently (do not beat).
Mash the bananas and fold into mixture along with the chopped nuts using a fork.
Spoon the mixture into a lined loaf baking tin and place in oven at 180oC for 50 – 60 minutes.
Remove from the oven and leave to cool in the tin for 10 minutes. Then gently remove from the tin onto a wire rack and leave to cool before cutting.

Emma says

“If the banana bread is not eaten on the day of cooking, it makes a great breakfast or snack toasted with melted butter”
