2 LOAF BANANA BREAD RECIPE RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 9x5 inch baking pan with non-stick cooking spray, grease with oil or line with parchment paper and set aside.
• In a large bowl combine bananas, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and salt.
• Beat in the oil, eggs, and vanilla extract.
• Add the flour and baking soda and gently stir until incorporated. DO NOT over mix.
• Pour the batter into the baking pan.
• Bake for 30 minutes then remove from the oven and cover loosely with foil. *This prevents the crust from burning.
• Continue to bake for 15 – 20 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or mostly clean.
• Cool in pan 10 minutes then remove to cool completely.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4.
• Butter a 2lb loaf tin and line the base and sides with baking parchment.
• Cream 140g softened butter and 140g caster sugar until light and fluffy, then slowly add 2 beaten large eggs with a little of the 140g flour.
• Fold in the remaining flour, 1 tsp baking powder and 2 mashed bananas.
• Pour the mixture into the prepared tin and bake for about 50 mins, or until cooked through. Check the loaf at 5-min intervals from around 30-40 mins in the oven by testing it with a skewer (it should be able to be inserted and removed cleanly), as the time may vary depending on the shape of your loaf tin.
• Cool in the tin for 10 mins, then remove to a wire rack.
• Mix 50g icing sugar with 2-3 tsp water to make a runny icing.
• Drizzle the icing across the top of the cake and decorate with a handful of banana chips.
