Made these a couple of weeks ago & they were very scrummy & foolproof to make!

225g self raising flour
100g butter
85g castor sugar
2 medium eggs, lightly beaten
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp ground cinnamon
170ml milk
a pinch of salt
grated zest of 1 lemon
2 bananas


Heat oven to 200°C or Gas Mark 6. Grease 12 muffin tins with butter or place 12 muffin cake cases in a tin.
Melt the butter and leave to cool.

Sieve the flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt into a large bowl. Stir in the sugar and lemon zest.

Mash the banana with a fork and add to the flour. Lightly beat the melted butter and milk together and add to the flour.

Add the eggs and stir until just mixed, do not over beat.

Divide the mixture between the tins or cases.

Bake in the centre of the oven for 25 minutes, leave in the tins for 5 minutes then place on a wire rack to cool.

I made these a couple of days ago - was a bit disappointed when we had one on the night (made them about 6ish - ate about 8ish) still a bit gooey. But they had to be eaten so had 1 the next day - OMG!!! how scrummy were they then?! Yum yum - will be making these again - but leaving them overnight before eating:T

Not the wrong place, but a quick Title search comes up with an existing thread I'll add your question to that so that you can browse the recipes.

Hi All,

I wonder if somebody could possibly help me with this one. I bought something from the Early Learning Centre last week and was given a copy of the free magazine, containing a recipie for Banana Bread.

I made the bread and decided ( before anybody else had tried it :rolleyes: ) that it was too dry and threw the recipie out. Low and behold everybody else loved it and now I have a few over ripe banana's to use up my DH has asked me to make another one. I can't get in to the shop to get another copy and the ones I've looked at online don't seem to have the same ingredients or techiniques so may turn out slightly differently.

Does anybody happen to have a copy lying around that could kindly post the recipie for me.:o

I would be very grateful.

Dont know about the ELC one but I have a really easy Banana and Sultana teabread recipe from a Good Housekeeping Tate and Lyle Kids cook book, uses 2 large or 3 medium bananas if that would help?

Can't help with the ELC recipe, but here's my recipe, which makes lovely moist banana bread.... Hope it helps.

Banana bread
125g butter
250 g caster sugar
2 eggs
5ml vanilla essence
30ml plain yoghurt
6 ripe bananas
250g cake flour
5ml bicarbonate of soda
1.5ml salt

Preheat oven to 180 Celcius/350 Fahrenheit
cream butter and caster sugar until light and fluffy
beat eggs and add, together with vanilla essence and yoghurt, to butter mixture. Mix well.
Mash bananas and mix well with butter mixture.
Sift flour, bicarb, and salt twice, and fold in butter and banana mixture.
Line a bread pan properly and bake for about an hour to 80 minutes. Test after an hour with a knife (it should come out clean).
Turn out of bread pan and let it cool down properly.
