Banana Bread

Cooking today, 4 old bananas from freezer.

Interpreting baking soda as bicarb.

Didn’t sift the flour. Crush banana in large bowl then add eggs and whisk a little, then add that to the rest. Ingredients should be reordered.

Doing 200 degrees for conventional oven.

Turned at half time.

Took 1hr15min to bake and cooling on rack for 10min.

Making today with blueberries and none of my normal utensils

Success but zero structural integrity, berries very tasty. Used about 150g blueberries, some very large. Ran out of vanilla at like half a tsp, used baking powder not bicarb this time. Rose well very pleased. Very buttery. Fell apart when removed from the dish.

Baked for about 1hr5min and then cooled for 10 before taking a slice

Doing now for a grad Christmas in July morning tea. Swapped vanilla out for 1 tbsp brandy, and added 2 tsp cinnamon, 1 tsp nutmeg, 0.5 tsp ginger and 0.25 tsp cardamom (plus a sprinkle extra). Taking the oven temperature to mean conventional, so doing 160 fan.

That was the tastiest banana bread I have ever made. and I did end up giving it an extra 10-15 min in the oven and no dryness issues.
