Equipment

  • Loaf Tin
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Fork or Potato Masher

Ingredients
  

  • 3 ripe bananas about 1 1/2 cups mashed
  • 1 1/2 cups self-raising flour or all-purpose flour with 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 large egg

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a loaf tin with parchment paper.
  • Peel and mash the bananas in a large bowl until smooth, leaving a few lumps for texture.
  • Crack the egg into the mashed bananas and stir well until combined.
  • Gently fold in the self-raising flour just until combined to avoid tough bread.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared loaf tin and bake for 40 to 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Allow the bread to cool in the tin for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Slice and serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Use overripe bananas for best sweetness. For vegan option, replace egg with flax or chia egg (1 tbsp ground flaxseed or chia seeds + 3 tbsp water).
