- No banana bread recipe ever uses enough of those blackened bananas sitting in the fruit bowl, so bake more than one loaf and freeze pre-sliced – ready for morning toasting or breakfast on the run.
Ingredients
- 45g light soft brown sugar
- 30g Almonds, chopped
- 255ml Soured cream
- 1 tsp Bicarbonate of soda
- 100g unsalted butter, melted
- 230g caster sugar
- 2 medium Eggs, lightly beaten
- 250g plain flour
- 1 tsp Baking powder
- 1 tsp ground Cinnamon
- 250g mashed ripe Bananas, (about 2 medium bananas)
Method
1. Preheat the oven to 180C/ gas 4. Grease and line two 10 x 18cm loaf tins with baking paper.2. In a bowl, mix together the brown sugar and almonds and set aside.
3. In a large bowl, mix together the sourced cream and bicarbonate of soda, leave to stand for 5 minutes, then stir in the melted butter, caster sugar and eggs. Sift the flour, baking powder and cinnamon into another bowl. Gradually fold in the soured cream mixture, followed by the mashed bananas.
4. Divide the mixture equally between the prepared tins and sprinkle the brown sugar mixture on top. Bake for 1 – 1¼ hours or until a skewer inserted into the centre of each loaf comes out clean. Set aside to cool in the tins for about 20 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
