Banana Bread

This is an easy one bowl recipe.

Ingredients:
2 ripe bananas
2 egg
2 teaspoon vanilla extract
6 tablespoons olive oil or vegetable oil
1 cup plain flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt

Method:
1. In a medium size mixing bowl, mash the bananas
2. Stir in the eggs, vanilla extract, and oil until combined.
3. Then add the flour, sugars, baking soda and salt.
4. Fold until combined.

Spoon into your prepared (oiled or lined with parchment) baking pan (I use a loaf tin) and bake at 160°C (fan assisted) for around 25-30min. Each oven is different so check in after 20mins or so. You know it is done when a skewer comes out clean when inserted.

Enjoy warm with a slathering of butter and a hot cuppa :)
