Ingredients
  

  • 3 Ripe Bananas
  • 2 tbsp Milk
  • 100 g Soft Butter or Baking Spread
  • 150 g Spelt Flour
  • 150 g Caster Sugar
  • 1 tsp Baking Powder
  • 1 tsp Bicarbonate of Soda
  • 2 Eggs

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 180C (160C fan). Grease and line a loaf tin with baking paper.
  • Peel the bananas and mash them in a mixing bowl using a fork until smooth. Add the remaining cake ingredients and beat with an electric hand whisk until fully combined and smooth.
  • Spoon the batter into the prepared loaf tin and level the top.
  • Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until the loaf is well risen, golden on top, and beginning to pull away from the sides of the tin. A skewer inserted into the centre should come out clean.
  • Leave the banana bread to cool in the tin for 10 minutes, then remove and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Once cooled, slice and serve.
