Hello

I have all the ingredients to make a banana bread in my Morphy Richrds Fastbake all except Baking Soda - what does the baking soda do and would it be missed? It only needs 1/4 tsp?

Any advice gratefully received

the baking soda will make the bread/cake rise so without it i'm afraid the bread will be flat as a pancake.

i have used thistle-down's banana bread recipe on this thread http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=199668
and it has been delicious. goes down a treat at work too though i do use less sugar than there is in the recipe. do you have self raising flour instead of baking soda?

Hello,

I have been making banana bread in my bread maker after stumbling across a recipe on this board just I was about to throw some manky bananas out :eek:

I was telling my Gran about it the other day and she wants the recipe off me the only trouble is that she doesn't have a bread maker.... can anyone tell me how long she should cook it for and at what temperature please?

Teaching my Gran an O/S recipe - how bizarre is that?!

I always make it in the oven thought its probably banana cake not bread. My kids love it.

Sorry if I'm being really dense, but I have seen something on here about banana cake, but can't find the recipe.

Can anyone direct me please ?

Catowen PMd me her recipe, tried it myself, very nice ! Sure she won't mind me sharing.

Banana Loaf

165g sugar
1 egg
150g s/r flour
3 ripe bananas, mashed

Mix together, cook for about 30 - 40mins at 180C

You could add a chopped up mars bar for a different taste!!!! (and a few extra calories!!!)
