banana glut

Skint_Catt

I make lots of banana bread ina 2lb loaf tin and an oven. There's a massive post somewhere with all the ingredients if you do a search, or someone will merge this thread with it probably.

Banana muffins, they need VERY ripe bananas!!

banana bread, smoothies, b&b pudding with it layered in, banana and custard, or slice and freeze ready to make into smoothies or eat straight from the freezer instead of icecream :-)

Store them in the freezer unpeeled in a bag. When you want to use them for muffins or cake defrost in the microwave for a couple of minutes then mash.

I have a recipe for banana muffins that needs 6 ripe bananas. I'll post it a bit later -I'm just off for a shower.

I make this - it's from one of the threads on here but not sure where I found it now.

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


I sometimes add walnuts or peacan nuts.

Mix all ingredients together, pour into a loaf tin and cook for 30 mins, 180C

You can also freeze them, if you don't have time to cook with them now.

Hi everyone,

I haven't done much baking, but had some over ripe bananas in the fruit bowl, so I decided to make the banana bread posted on this forum. I bought a loaf tin especially, and took it out of the oven a short while ago, but when I cut into it, it's all gooey banana in the middle! Is this right? If not, do you have any idea what has gone wrong? I used 5 small bananas - is that too much? I have a fan assisted oven so I reduced the temperature to 170C, do you think it wasn't high enough?

Sorry for all the questions, just worried that I will give OH a sore tummy if it's not cooked properly!

Thanks!
