Munns's Munchies - Banana Bread

Banana Bread - served warm with lashings of butter, who can resist it, but I add a couple of extras to making it interesting.  This recipe is simple and very tasty so here goes.

You will need

2 1/2 cups of self raising flour

3/4 cup of brown sugar

1 cup milk (room temperature)

2 tablespoons butter (soft)

1 teaspoon vanilla essence

3 well ripe bananas

(Optional)

1/4 to 1/2 cup shredded coconut

cinnamon sugar (as a topping)

1/4 cup chopped walnuts - for a bit of crunch

Utensils you need

Large mixing bowl

Wooden spoon

Loaf baking tin  - medium size

Baking paper

What you need to do

Preheat oven to 180 degrees C  - fan on

Slice up the two ripest bananas, leave the third for topping.

Mix ingredients using only half coconut and without cinnamon sugar with wooden spoon

into a thick batter consistency. I like to leave a few small lumps of banana for texture

Line loaf tin (medium size) with baking paper

Pour the mixture into the loaf tin

Slice up the third banana into approx 50mm slices

Place these along top of wet mixture

Sprinkle remaining coconut over the top of mixture

Top with a generous sprinkle of cinnamon sugar

Bake in oven for 30 - 40  minutes 

Or until a knife comes out clean from centre of loaf.

Remove from oven allow to cool for 10 minutes

Remove from tray onto cooling rack 

Serve warm on its own or with butter even cream if you want to be really naughty!

Enjoy
