It’s been so long since I blogged I can’t remember how to do it.  So, this post is going to be rough.  But the banana bread? The banana bread is good.  I’ve made it about twenty times, so it should be.  Plus it’s suuuuuuuper easy.

Ingredients

300g plain flour

100g soft white sugar

100g dark brown sugar

3 over-ripe bananas

2 eggs 

160ml sunflower oil

100g yellow raisins

100g roasted almonds, roughly chopped

1 x 8g sachet vanilla sugar (or a few drops vanilla essence) 

10g baking powder

6g nutmeg + cinnamon each

Method

Step 1: Are you ready for this? Mix it all together in a bowl.  I’m sure that is sacrilege.  Whatevs.  It works.  I’m no baker, or chemist, so I can’t say for sure why it works, but it works.  Oh, and I usually mix it with a fork to help mash up the banana.

Step 2: Pour the mixture into a largish bread tin and put it into a 190 degrees celsius oven for 1h15m.  That sounds like a lot, and it’s possible my oven is a bit wonky – so test it after 50 minutes. But if you happen to be using MY oven, it’s 1h15mins.  Remove from oven and yomp.  Don’t burn your mouth.
