Don't you just love an old- fashioned bake like this banana bread?
The original recipe was from Jen's blog A little bit of what you fancy, she kindly allowed me to transfer the recipe into grams and share her fabulous recipe with you. I tweaked it a little bit, but it is basically the same.
Needless to say, didn't have any ripe bananas, so I had to go out and buy some, which is just sod's law, but at last, I at last I was armed with the ingredients and ready to bake!
The gorgeous smells from the banana bread wafted around the house and tempted Graham when he got home from work. I was just leaving for yoga, so I warned him not to touch the banana bread. I still needed to take some photos!
How mean am I? That poor man had to wait two hours before I came home, but showed great strength of will and left it alone! I sliced a piece for him to try (after taking photos, of course). He really liked the strong banana taste, but reverted to type and slathered his second piece with butter!
It's all gone now, sigh!
You really have to make it! I insist!
