  • I always use my ripe bananas for a banana bread. Goes down very well in this house! I use my breadmaker though.

    Butter 2 tbsp
    Milk 1 tbsp
    Mashed banana 1 cup (3 medium bananas)
    1 egg

    Plain flour 1 and a half cups
    Bicarb of soda half a tsp
    Baking powder quarter of a tsp
    Sugar half a cup
    salt quarter of a tsp

    Don't know if that's any help!


    I'd definately do it in a loaf tin.

    I always use this banana cake recipe (using 'normal' ingredients, not organic unfortunatly as i can't afford them), which is made in a loaf tin and yummy :D

    Longest it's ever lasted with me was about 4/5 days. Keeps longer without the whole banana, as that tends to start going a bit gooey.

    Banana loaf

    165 grams sugar
    150 grams self raising flour
    1 Egg
    2 very ripe bananas

    Grease a loaf tin
    Mix all ingredients together
    Pour into loaf tin
    place in the middle of oven
    gas mark 4 or 180
    About 30- 45 minutes depending on oven
    Tastes great.
