After dinner last night i found some poor old bananas at the bottom of the fridge and decided to make some bread. We’ve also had a bottle of decidedly dodgy looking chocolate liquer hanging around the flat for ages so thought this might be a good way to get rid of it! I put the bread in the oven and took the dog for a walk and when we came back the whole flat was filled with the yummy smell of baking goodness. The walk took a little longer than anticipated so the bread was a little over done although i’m told it tasted delicious. Oh yeah, one strange thing about me…i love baking but i hate eating sweet things… more of a savoury type so the poor M&M’s (man and dog) have it forced upon them quite alot!
Banana and Chocolate Bread
3 or 4 ripe bananas, mashed (keep one for slicing)
200g self raising flour
50g butter
100g brown sugar
2 eggs
25ml chocolate liquer
- Preheat the oven to 180 C.
- Line a loaf tin with greaseproof paper, (you can use any shape of tin that comes to hand)
- Cream together the butter and sugar
- Beat the eggs and add them to the butter mixture, then add the chocolate liquer
- Mix in the mashed banana
- Fold in the flour until you have a smooth mixture
- Empty into the tin, cover with the sliced banana and put it in the oven for an hour
The picture and the burning haven’t really done it justice this time!! Keep an eye on the bread when it’s approaching the hour mark especially for fan assisted ovens!
