Equipment

  • 2lb (1KG) Loaf/bread tin
  • Hand or stand mixer
  • Parchment paper or a cake tin liner
  • Large mixing bowl
  • Spatula or bread scraper

Ingredients
  

  • 4 Bananas Very ripe
  • 125 g Caster Sugar
  • 100 g Soft brown sugar
  • 140 g Butter Softened
  • 2 Eggs
  • 1 tsp Ground Cinnamon
  • 1 tsp Mixed spice
  • 250 g Self raising flour
  • 2 tbsp Milk

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 170°C/340°F.
  • Grease the loaf tin with a little butter and then line the tin with baking parchment or a tin liner (no greasing required).
  • Add the caster sugar, soft brown sugar and butter to a large mixing bowl.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. 
  • Peel the bananas and add one at a time straight into the sugar and butter mixture while continuing to beat the mixture.  If they're very ripe they will easily mash into the mix with no need to pre-mash.
  • Weigh the flour and spices into a separate bowl (there's no need to sift the flour).
  • Add an egg to the creamed sugar, butter and banana mix along with a table spoon of the flour mix and beat, once incorporated add the other egg with another spoon of flour to stop the mixture curdling.
  • Once the egg is incorporated into the mix add the rest of the flour and spices along with the milk and beat for 30 seconds or so until the mixture is well combined.
  • Scrape the mix into the prepared loaf tin using a spatula or bread scraper to get all the mix out of the bowl.
  • Bake the bread for an hour to an hour and 10 minutes, check if the bread is ready by inserting a skewer or knife into the middle and if it comes out clean it's ready. (See below for more information on cooking temperature).
  • Once the bread has been out of the oven for a few minutes, carefully tip it out of the tin, cool the bread on a wire rack and enjoy!
