Boredom Busting Banana Bread Recipe

Ingredients:

• 4 medium bananas, 3 for mashing, 1 for the top
• 1.5 cups plain wholemeal flour
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1.5 cups caster sugar or soft brown sugar
• 1.5 sticks softened butter
• 2 eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla extract/paste
• Sugar to top 

Inspired by Lord Lucy’s Banana Bread Recipe with a few changes due to lack of store cupboard items. 

Instructions:

1. Mash 3 of the bananas and set to one side ready to fold into your mixture later. 
2. Sieve the flour and baking powder into a large mixing bowl. 
3. In a separate bowl, cream your softened butter with the sugar and then add the eggs 1 by 1 to the mixture. 
4. Once all of the wet ingredients are combined and smooth, slowly fold in the flour mixture – try not to over mix it. 
5. Take your mashed banana and carefully blend this into the large mixing bowl along with your vanilla extract. 
6. Tip the mix into a lined loaf tin or ovenproof dish of your choice and decorate with the remaining banana peeled and sliced lengthways, sink into the mix. 
7. Bake at 330 degrees Fahrenheit for approximately 1hr. 
8. Take out of the oven once golden and cooked through, allow to cool and then enjoy with a cup of tea in front of your favourite boxset.
