Ingredients (for 1 loaf)

• 125g toasted walnuts

• about 4-5 (over)ripe peeled bananas – the riper the bananas are, the sweeter the bread will be

Kitchen Materials

Baking tray, baking paper, kitchen mixer or whisk, a sieve and a spatula.

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 170°C and line a baking tray with baking paper.

2. Mash the bananas in a bowl and set aside.

3. In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. 

4. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

5. Add the mashed bananas and toasted walnut pieces to the bowl and stir to combine.

6. Sift in the flour, baking powder, salt, and coffee, then gently mix until you have a smooth batter (don't overmix)

7. Pour the batter into the lined baking tray and smooth the top.

8. Bake for about 1 hour, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. If it does, the banana bread is ready. 

Enjoy with a cup of coffee!
