I tried a few recipes. Delia came out top. Very easy to put together and as with most of her recipes you just cant go wrong. Other than the fact that my jeans have all shrunk - how can that be?

Especially as they were cheap!

We used to be able to buy overripe "cooking tomatoes".
I miss them.

I wonder how long it will be before supermarkets start selling overripe bananas as " cake bananas"

I don't make banana bread. DH doesn't like it.

I’d gladly share my receipe if u want, just send me a PM.
I usually make a loaf, but sometimes do a small loaf & “cupcakes/muffins” instead.
(Convenient for snacking, lol...)

Thought it was just me! I'm a reasonably good cake baker, simple sponges, scones etc, but every banana loaf I've ever made has been like a brick. I've given up trying to make one that doesn't lie like lead on the stomach. Are they supposed to be like that?

I shouldn’t really be on here as I gave up on baking sweet stuff a long time ago. I blamed the oven which seemed to burn everything.
However our lockdown 3 pm cuppa has been accompanied by some very nice cakes - Sainsbury’s lemon loaf cake is my favourite.
I do like bananas, so please, if someone has a foolproof recipe, kindly print and post it and I’ll give it a go. ?

I made a simple one with veg oil. It froze well too. But the novelty wore off.

Mines been good as well and no eggs required.

Well I can’t really cook but my banana bread in lockdown was delicious (cock a doodle doo) ?

It would appear that the whole world has spent lockdown successfully making banana bread. Except me. I have made four different ones with various levels of failure. I have just got the latest one out of the oven and it is all burnt on top!!. I will be so glad when lockdown is over, then I can stop pretending I am Mary Berry and go back to being Mr Kipling!!
