Banana Bread

If you are expecting a sweet, cakey type of bread this is not the recipe for you!  Having said that, the bananas do give it some sweetness.  Great for a snack.

Ingredients;

1. 2 large really, really ripe bananas
2. 4 eggs
3. 6oz ground almonds
4. 1/4 cup (approx 50ml) of oil (I use coconut as the sweetness is good with the bread)
5. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
6. 1/2 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
7. 2oz chopped nuts for topping

Method;

1. Put the oven on at 170 degrees (non fan assist - if you have fan assisted oven then reduce temperature by 10 degrees)
2. Line a baking tin (or tins) with oiled baking paper. I used 2 loaf tins but you could easily use a square or round tin instead
3. Put the bananas, eggs, oil, honey and vanilla extract in the food processor and blend until it looks like a frothy milkshake
4. Add the bicarbonate of soda and blend again
5. Add the almonds and blend again to mix
6. Pour the mixture in to the tin(s) and sprinkle the nuts on top
7. Bake in the oven for 30 to 40 mins. The bread is ready when a knife inserted into the middle comes out clean.
