Banana Bread

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 170°C (340°F) and line a loaf pan with parchment paper.
2. Mash the bananas well with a fork.
3. Cream the butter and sugar together, then mix in the eggs one at a time.
4. Fold in the mashed banana, then sift in the dry ingredients (flour, baking soda, salt) and mix gently.
5. Pour into the pan and bake at 170°C (340°F) for 50–55 minutes.

Tips

• Overmixing the batter makes the bread tough — stop as soon as the flour disappears.
• It’s done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
