Ingredients
- 3 very ripe bananas
- 250 g flour
- 120 g sugar
- 2 eggs
- 80 g melted butter
Instructions
- Mash bananas, then mix in sugar, eggs and butter.
- Fold in the flour and a teaspoon of baking soda until just combined.
- Pour into a lined loaf tin.
- Bake at 175C (350F) for 55-60 minutes; cool before slicing.
💡 Chef's tip
Do not overmix once the flour goes in - stir just until combined or the loaf turns dense and tough.
The blacker and softer the bananas, the better: overripe bananas are far sweeter and more aromatic, which is why banana bread is a way to rescue them, not waste good fruit.
