Hello friends,
So with all good intentions I buy bananas and try to have one a day. Sometimes however I work long hours away from home and the fruit sits there getting soft. Now I like my bananas at the pre-brown spot stage, so when I realised this weekend that I had five very soft bananas what pops into my head - BANANA BREAD!!!
I like banana bread a lot, it is very moist and moreish, and the last one I baked was a healthy version. This is the opposite as it is full of butter sugar and chocolate, yum!
Ingredients:
110g butter softened
120g caster sugar
80g milk chocolate melted
2 eggs
120g self raising flour
1 tsp baking powder
2 mashed bananas
Method:
Preheat your oven to 180C/ 160C and line a loaf tin with parchment.
In a bowl, beat together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy then add in the two eggs. Beat with a wooden spoon and pour in the melted chocolate. Mix well and add the rests of the dry ingredients, folding them in making sure everything is incorporated.
Make sure the bananas are good and mashed and then add into the chocolate mix. At this point, you could throw in some extra chocolate chips if you want to be moreish, but I am leaving it at this.
Pour into the tin and bake for 50 minutes. Check that a skewer comes out clean when tested.
Allow to cool before slicing open and enjoying :)
