1. Turn on the oven to 175oC/350oF/Gas mark 4
2. Grease the loaf tin with lots of butter making sure that you reach the corners
3. Put all the ingredients, except the bananas, into the food processor or bowl and mix them
4. Add the bananas and miz everything again
5. Put the mixture into the loaf tin and put it on the middle shelf of the oven
6. After 45 mins take it out of the oven. It should be golden brown and risen with a slight crack across the top.
7. Push a skewer into the middle. If it's cooked the skewer will come out clean if not pop it back in the oven for another 10 mins.
8. Let it cool in the tin for a few mins before tipping it out onto a cooling rack.
ooooo really good recipe! Its really easy because you can put it all in a bowl (i did the mixing by hand, which i think will have made it lighter, but i dont have a food processor so i had no choice!). I added an extra banana because i had 4 really ripe ones and no one was gonna eat the one left, which meant that it needed a bit longer in the oven. It still turned out great and was really moist. I also added crushed and lightly chopped hazel nuts (because i didn't have walnuts and i prefer hazel nuts) and sprinkled a few on the top and that made it look great and added an extra dimension to the flavour. I would also say that the salt is really important, but if using table salt remember not to use as much (i used rock salt, which i ground up in a pestle and mortar). Great recipe thanks girls!
