Banana and Walnut Loaf

This is a really delicious recipe that I have taken from BBC's Good Food '101 Cakes & Bakes'. I am including it in my blog as it's a bake I find really tasty and would definitely recommend others to bake it also! It's one of those cool recipes where you could swap a few ingredients for a slight change. For example, if you aren't the greatest fan of nuts (like many aren't!) you could swap the walnuts for chocolate or perhaps even chunks of toffee?





*Pre heat oven to 180*C/Gas 4/ Fan oven 160*C*

Ingredients

100g/4oz Butter, softened
140g/5oz light muscovado sugar
2 eggs, lightly beaten
100g/4oz walnuts, chopped
2 ripe bananas, mashed
2 tbsp milk
225g/8oz self-raising flour

Method

Butter and line a 1kg/2lb loaf tin

Cream the butter and sugar together until light and smooth

Add the eggs

Add 3oz/75g of walnuts and fold into the creamed mixture

Add the mashed bananas and milk

Fold the mixture together (again using the figure of 8 movement)

Next, fold in the flour

Spoon the mixture into the greasproof paper-lined tin 

Sprinkle over the remaining 1oz/25g of walnuts

Bake in the oven on the middle shelf for 55-60 minutes until risen

Stand for 10 minutes, then turn out, remove the lining paper and cool. 

*Serves 12*
