Banana and pecan nut bread
Ingredients
- 3 large ripe bananas
- 225 grams self-raising flour
- salt
- 175 grams caster sugar
- 100 grams unsalted butter, softened
- 2 pieces eggs
- 2 tablespoons golden syrup
- 50 grams pecan nuts
Directions
Pre-heat the oven to 160C/Gas 3 and grease a 2lb loaf tin.
Peel and mash the bananas in a bowl then add the remaining ingredients and beat vigorously for a minute to make sure they are well combined. Spoon the mixture into the loaf tin, sprinkle the top with pecan nuts and bake in the pre-heated oven for 1 1/4 hours until well-risen and firm to the touch. Leave the loaf to rest for 10-15 minutes in the tin then turn out on a cooling rack and leave to cool. Can also be served warm as a pudding.
