BANANA BREAD Banana bread gets a rough ride as it’s usually made when bananas need using up but during lockdown, it’s become a must-bake recipe for staying at home!
Ingredients - Serves 8-10
How to make

1. Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Mash 3 large black peeled bananas with a fork, then mix well with 75g vegetable or sunflower oil and 100g brown sugar. 2. Combine plain flour, baking powder and cinnamon, and mix well. Add 50g dried fruit and/or walnuts. 3. Bake in an oiled, lined 2lb loaf tin for 20 minutes. Check and cover with foil if the cake is browning too quickly. 4. Bake for another 20 minutes. Test by inserting a skewer until it comes out clean. 5. Allow the cake to cool a little before slicing. It’s delicious freshly baked, but develops a lovely gooey quality the day after.
