Ingredients
- 3 large Overripe bananas
- 125 grams Unsalted butter
- 150 grams Brown sugar
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 200 grams Self-raising flour
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Milk
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease or line a standard loaf pan with parchment paper.
Step 2
Peel the bananas and mash them in a large mixing bowl using a fork until smooth.
Step 3
Melt the butter in the microwave or on the stovetop, then add it to the mashed bananas. Stir to combine.
Step 4
Add the brown sugar, egg, and vanilla extract to the banana mixture. Whisk until smooth and well combined.
Step 5
Sift in the self-raising flour, ground cinnamon, and salt. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Step 6
Add the milk and fold it through to loosen the batter slightly.
Step 7
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the surface with a spatula.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
Step 9
Allow the banana bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Slice and serve on its own or with a spread of butter for an extra treat.
