Banana and Walnut Bread

Ever bought bananas and didn't get to eat them before they ripen too quickly? No fear. This recipe is perfect in this situation. Banana and walnut bread. Perfect for your breakkie and a total treat. Alternatively, it'll make a nice little (ok, not so little considering how filling it is!) snack. And if you like the smell of bread baking in the oven as much as I do, you'll enjoy this recipe. Hassle-free (read as no dough kneading required!). How good is that?! :) Enjoy!

Banana and Walnut Bread Ingredients:
  1. 2C self-raising flour
  2. 3 ripe bananas, mashed
  3. 2 eggs, beaten
  4. 3/4C milk
  5. 1t cinnamon powder
  6. 1/2t vanilla essence
  7. 1t baking soda
  8. 70g brown sugar
  9. 80g walnuts, chopped
  10. 25g seeds
Method:
  1. Pre-heat oven at 180C.
  2. Sift the flour and baking soda and mix well with the sugar. Add in the cinnamon powder and combine.
  3. Create a well in the centre of the flour mixture and add in the eggs, milk, vanilla essence and the bananas and mix well.
  4. Grease a loaf tin and pour the batter into the loaf tin.
  5. Bake the batter for approximately 45mins (or until skewer comes out clean).
  6. Cool the bread on a wire rack and slice when cooled.
Hint: You can also add in sultanas/raisins if you wish. You can also reduce recipe to use 2 bananas (won't have such a strong banana taste) but increase the milk to 1C.

Enjoy! :)
