Ingredients
- ½ cup (125g) butter room temperature
- 1 cup (200g) sugar
- 2 eggs
- 6 bananas (350g) very soft bananas mashed
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups (250g) flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 tsp salt
Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 180ºC/350°F and grease and line a standard size loaf tin (approximatley 20cmx12cm / 9" x 5") with baking paper.
- In the bowl of a mixer, beat the butter and sugar together until light and creamy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Scrape down the bowl with a rubber spatula.
- Beat in the bananas. At this point, your batter will split and look curdled. Don't be alarmed, the flour will fix that.
- Add the dry ingredients then mix until just combined.
- Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf tin and place in the oven.
- Bake for 45 minutes or until a skewer inserted comes out clean. Cover with foil halfway to prevent over browning.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool before removing the banana bread from the tin.
- Slice and serve.
