    Ok after reading this thread I am desperate to use up the three brown bananas I have in the kitchen. However, having read the recipes so far I am asking for advice on a few potential tweaks, as I want to bake tonight without going to the shops and wasting more money to save money.

    I have no eggs, bicarb, baking powder or SF flour:confused:. I DO have bread flour (!), raisins, butter, cinnamon and some cereals. I only mention the cereals cos I once made successful banana bread from a WW No Count recipe, that involved porridge oats and All Bran - sounds pretty gopping but was wonderful! :rolleyes:

    Any suggestions as to what I could cobble together successfully in a loaf tin?

    This is our favourite -

    165g sugar
    1 egg
    150g S/R flour
    3 ripe bananas

    mix together, pour into tin and bake for 30 mins, 180 C.

    You could also add a chopped up mars bar which is delicious, and the other day i chopped up a bounty bar which my DS loved!!!

    Hi pukkamum,

    There's a very recent thread on banana bread with lots of recipes so I'll merge your thread with that one to keep all the replies together.

    Yes, Freeze in skins to use later in banana bread
  • There was a nice looking recipe in this months addition of the Sommerfield magazine
