Bill Granger's Banana Bread |
I happened to have all the other ingredients lying in the pantry, so I set aside the cleaning and quickly started baking!
I did publish the recipe here, but in short it's a very simple muffin-style recipe: you take the dry ingredients and stir them into the wet ingredients. I don't have a mini-loaf tin at my new place, so I used a normal big loaf tin. These would be perfect as muffins too. For some crunch and fun, (and because I had them in the cupboard), I also added a cup of walnuts.
Just an hour or so in the oven, and there she is! Mmm... beautiful.
I had a nice slice with a cup of tea - delicious! I love the contrast between soft fluffy interior, and crunchy edges. I used regular-sized milk chocolate chips this time (not the mega-sized hexagonal Lindt piccoli pieces I used last time), so they were a little less crazily indulgent.
I gave half the loaf to my parents, had a piece for breakfast at work the next day, and sliced up the rest and stashed it in the freezer. That way I'll have access to chocolatey-nutty-banana-bread goodness any time I want! Hooray!

I haven't made banana bread for ages and I have bananas in the freezer - might remedy that this weekend. The idea of having slices of banana bread stashed in the freezer is just too tempting...
ReplyDeleteoh i have 2 bananas that are browning in my fruit bowl at the moment ready for some banana bread action. Crazy how banana bread is such a pricey thing at the moment. Even at the work cafe they have switched to date bread now, not that I am complaining!
