Banana loaf

For as long as I can remember I have disliked bananas. They always look good in the shop and the green ones don't smell too bad but for some unknown, unexplained reason I just cannot bring myself to eat them.

So with that in mind I bought 4 green bananas to try last week and do you know what?.........................They are now a cake!!

No matter how hard I tried I just couldn't bring myself to taste one and so after a week of sitting there doing nothing they had turned yellow. The only thing left to do with them was to turn them into a banana loaf.

John has sampled it and says it's edible and coming from him that is praise indeed :0)

Here's a very simple recipe from studentrecipes.com

Banana Loaf

Ingredients
7oz plain flour
1 level teaspoon baking powder
1/2 level teaspoon bicarbonate soda
4oz caster sugar
2oz margarine
1 egg
a little milk
2 bananas (mashed)

Method
Sieve the flour, bicarbonate soda and baking powder. Rub in the margarine and caster sugar. Add mashed bananas, beat in egg and milk and mix well. Grease a loaf tin and bake for 1 hour at 190c in the centre of the oven.

    I am not a huge fan of banannas either.
    Something about the texture when eating them....I dont know for sure what it is.
    I know they are good for you though.
    I cut them up in put then on my ceral, otherwise, I also enjoy a good banana bread or muffins!
    This sounds like a good recipe, that I will have to try next time!

    It looks suuuper yummy! I like bananas, but don't eat them too often though... I like slicing one on top of porridge. I have been wanting to try making banana bread.. maybe I should try your recipe! :)

    Looks delicious! I like bananas but dislike the peel smell, so after I eat one the peel has to go outside :)

    I have yellow bananas sitting in my fruit bowl at the moment and I was just thinking I need to use them in a loaf. I might try this recipe for a change - thank you :)
