banana bread - yummy

I was bored yesterday so produced this little masterpiece. Takes abour 10 minutes to prepare , an hour tops to cook and it's scrummy yummy.

ingredients:-

225 g plain flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 heaped teaspoon of baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
110g caster sugar
1 eggy weggy
90g unsalted butter, melted
sploosh of vanilla essence
90g sour cherries
3 very ripe bananas, mashed( ripe - as in honking!)

Preheat t'oven to 180c/350f/Gas Mark 4. Before you begin, grease a baking tin then dust some flour round the surfaces to stop the bread sticking.
Sift the flour, salt, baking powder and cinnamon together. Stir in the sugar. With a fork, mix in the egg, melted butter and vanilla essence. Add the mashed bananas and cherries and mix with the fork until all incorporated - but don't over mix.

Spoon the gloop into a tin and bake for 50 to 60 mins until the loaf springs back when prodded. Leave the tin to cool for 10 mins before turning out.

Toasted slices of this are beeeeeeyootiful - and quite healthy.

same here Jon.

i bet you, like me, HATE people adding salt to their food - BEFORE they've even tasted it!!

I think a teaspoon of salt for aloaf of bread is fairly standard isn't it?

yeah I use a little sea salt on salads but rarely use salt anymore its amazing how quick one gets use to it - teaspoon seems alot to be P2f even for an ordinary loadf

Mmmmm pancakes, I didn't add what I had on mine on the chit chat thread on tuesday as we were on our way home from the in laws. But I had Strawberries and Ice Cream on mine
