Banana bread

I too use the BBC recipe. So easy and is delicious.

Aww w ..... don’t you hate it when that happens?
Hope you can still eat it Iam64?

I've just made another banana bread, then forgotten to take it out the oven so its 10 minutes over cooked. I blame gransnet. I don't know if this constitutes a thread about a thread but I was working my way through the various updates since I looked this morning.

Shush!!

DH ate all the last one and didn't put on any weight.

It has only 75 gms butter in the banana bread, and I reduced the sugar to 125 gms. That was my nod to making it healthier Callistemon.
I’ve eaten 2 slices and it’s soft, moist and yummy ?

Have you tried the BBC Food easiest ever banana cake recipe? I like it because there is no rubbing or creaming of butter, it uses oil instead. It makes a lovely moist loaf, even better spread with butter.

That's the one I used too, adding sultanas or raisins.

My banana bread was only fit for the birds until I tried that recipe.
I'm trying not to eat cake.

I’ll be trying that recipe next DiscoGran, we love a slice of fruit cake. Is it suitable for a loaf tin or did you make a round cake?

I haven't made banana bread as neither of us is that much of a banana lover. However, I have made a couple of Delia recipe fruitcakes that I usually don't bother with outside of the festive season. Extremely easy recipe involving a jar of mincemeat. Delicious!

Good morning, I finally got around to baking a banana loaf, using jdga’s recipe and am really proud of my Loaf.
You can’t go wrong. Thank you.
Here are photo’s - and it smells wonderful! ?‍?

shysal, I shall have a go at that one, thanks.

Chewbacca -thank you so very very much. I will hang on in there. We had an exciting visit this afternoon, it didn't involve nana bread but, I'd shopped on the evil empire and bought a tutu for 2 year old girl and a Gryffindor t shirt for the five year old. We called and did a distanced from the door step visit. It ws an absolute joy. Both delighted with their gifts and instantly put them on. Ms Tutu wore hers with her favourite wellibobs. Mr Gryffindor was beside himself as only five year old boys can be, leaping in the air and cheering.
Total total joy.

I’ll try that one, too. My hands get very painful from mixing the eggs, sugar and butter. It took me ages to realise a potato masher was the way to mash the bananas: I’d been using a fork which, again, really hurt my hands.

Ooh that sounds an interesting one shysal. A kind gn poster has given me her recipe too.
I’m ripening off some bananas ready - and I also need to buy baking powder which is one of those “highly sought after” items since COVID-19.
Then I’ll join the Banana Loaf Cake Bakers ?

Ah Norstat I'm really sorry that this is dragging on and that you, and so many other GPs, are still having to isolate for what's felt like an eternity. It's a bugger to be sure. These are for you, to tide you over......

Chewie your ‘hang on on there, love’ post brought a tear to my eye.

I am feeling a bit jaded with shielding too - but you’re right ... not long now.

(I am not making any banana bread). ?

Iam64, it won't be much longer now love; hang on in there.

I wish Chewbacca - we have four who currently don't visit except the occasional brief garden call. I was shielding and currently I'm being Very Careful. The children and their parents are back at work, school, nursery and mixing with friends. So, not many bananas here

Banana muffins are quick and easy to make.....

I could loan you 2 banana eaters if it would help Iam64? I'm sudenly acutely aware how much more food I'm suddenly buying again, compared to my miniscule food bill whilst under lockdown.

Chewbacca, I didn't try Mary's, but I did try Jamie and that was light. I've found Delia's comes out slightly differently each time. I've made about 7 now (hence the shrinking jeans). The latest one is heavier. Could it be that the banana's I used were much fresher than the previous ones. I've kept buying bananas despite the fact our chief banana eater, aged 2 "nana, nana nana". whilst pointing at them hasn't been visiting due to the virus. I usually make banana bread with help from one of the slightly older grandchildren. No wonder I'm eating the stuff -it's so quiet here.

Iam64 I tried Delia's recipe, and Mary Barry's, but they both came out solid and lumpen. Is it supposed to be like that? It was so heavy it clagged to the roof of my mouth!

Hate banana bread

I find tea bread easier. It’s funny how, at the start of the pandemic I thought I was the only person obsessively making banana bread only to find that everyone was doing it !

Couldn't put it better myself phoenix. One of my food hells.
Lizbethann you could say to hell with it and never bother trying again? I would say that of course .

Bananas! Bleurgh!
