The Best Banana Bread


I adapted this recipe from Nigella Lawson's Butterscotch Banana Muffins. It's the best banana bread I've ever had. Moist and flavoursome. Healthier version at the end!



The Best Banana Bread

Ingredients

3 very ripe banana(s)
125 ml vegetable oil
2 egg replacers
250 grams plain GF flour
100 grams caster sugar
½ teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
150 grams chocolate chips - optional
Crushed walnuts - optional
Cinnamon - optional


Method

Preheat the oven to 200°C/gas mark 6/400°F and grease a cake/bread tin.
Mash the bananas and set aside for a moment.
Pour the oil into a jug and beat in the egg replacers.
Put the flour, sugar, bicarbonate of soda and baking powder into a large bowl and mix in the egg replacer and oil mixture, followed by the mashed bananas.
Fold in the chocolate chips (if using), then pour into prepared cake tin and bake in the oven for 20-40 minutes. 20-25 mins if using muffin tray.
I usually set my timer for 20 minutes then test them by sticking in a knife. If the knife comes out clean they are ready, if not then the batter hasn't set.

I've made this healthier version for my kids;

125 ml coconut oil
