How can you bake without eggs? Pretty easily as it turns out. This banana bread is smashing with a cup of tea. Add some nuts or chocolate chips to this recipe. Go on. Knock yourself out.
2 very ripe, soft mushy bananas
75g Pure Dairy Free Sunflower Spread
100g brown sugar
225g Self-Raising flour
1½ teaspoons baking powder
Heat the oven to 200ºC / Gas Mark 6 / 400F
- Grease an 18cm x 7cm metal loaf tin and put some greaseproof paper in the base of it.
- In a bowl, mash the bananas up until they are runny.
- Melt the sunflower spread gently in a pan and add the brown sugar. Let the sugar completely dissolve.
- Pour this sugary sunflower spread into the bowl with the bananas and give it a good stir.
- Then add sifted self-raising flour and baking powder.
- Combine well, but don’t overdo – it should have a thick consistency.
- Spoon the mixture into the loaf tin evenly.
- Bake in the centre of the oven for twenty minutes solid. Then take it out and cover the top with tinfoil and bake for another ten to twenty minutes until it’s cooked (depending on your oven). Keep checking every ten minutes.
- Test with a skewer at all the above stages. If the skewer comes out clean then it’s baked properly.
