Great banana bread ;-)

This recipe is actually from the book Eat for sustained energy vol 1. I have modified it slightly because I found it to be very dry if you add all the ingredients from the original recipe.

Ingredients:

2 ripe bananas

1 small apple

2tsp olive oil

1 egg

1/2 cup soft brown sugar

1 cup flour

2tsp baking powder

pinch of salt

1tsp vanilla essence

Method:

Preheat your oven to 180 degrees

Peel and mash the two bananas. Peel and grate the apple and add to the mashed bananas.

Cream the sugar, oil, and egg together in a seperate bowl.

Add the flour, salt and baking powder to the apple and banana mixture. Now add the sugar, oil and egg mixture and add the vanilla essence. Mix well and pour into a bread tin and bake for approx 35 mins. After baking turn out and leave to cool.

The above recipe produces 1 thin banana bread. I often double the recipe to produce a slightly larger bread. Baking time for the double recipe is approx 55 mins.

Variation:

Add 2 small grated or 1 large grated carrot to the above ingredients!

I know you will enjoy this one! Till later...
