Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large Overripe bananas
- 125 grams Unsalted butter
- 150 grams Brown sugar
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 200 grams Self-raising flour
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease or line a standard loaf pan with parchment paper.
Peel the bananas and mash them in a large mixing bowl using a fork until smooth.
Melt the butter in the microwave or on the stovetop, then add it to the mashed bananas. Stir to combine.
Add the brown sugar, egg, and vanilla extract to the banana mixture. Whisk until smooth and well combined.
Sift in the self-raising flour, ground cinnamon, and salt. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Add the milk and fold it through to loosen the batter slightly.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the surface with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
Allow the banana bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve on its own or with a spread of butter for an extra treat.
