Looking for a great banana bread recipe?

…then try this recipe from Watirose. I made it once again recently and it goes down a treat.

Ingre­di­ents:

100g organic but­ter, soft­ened
175g Wait­rose Organic New Zealand For­est Honey
2 organic eggs, beaten
2 large ripe organic Fair­trade bananas, roughly chopped
½ tsp organic ground cin­na­mon
225g organic self-raising flour
50g pack organic wal­nut pieces
50g pack organic Brazil nuts, roughly chopped

Method

1. Pre­heat the oven to 180°C, gas mark 4. Lightly grease a 1kg loaf tin and line the base and ends with a long strip of bak­ing parchment.

2. Place the but­ter, honey, eggs, bananas, cin­na­mon and flour in a food proces­sor and blend until smooth. Alter­na­tively, beat by hand with a wooden spoon. Add the nuts, and pulse or mix until just combined.

3. Pour the mix­ture into the pre­pared tin and smooth the top. Bake for 35–40 min­utes until a skewer inserted into the cen­tre of the loaf comes out clean, and the bread is golden and well risen. Allow the loaf to cool in the tin for 10 min­utes then turn out. Remove the bak­ing parch­ment and cut into slices. Deli­cious served warm or cold, spread with butter.
