That’s a mouthful

I merged a lot of recipes that came from family and friends then added a little Dr Google to leverage all that is out there. You can add / substitute chips and nuts as you wish, I also think that this would go amazing by adding dried fruit as well such as cherries or blueberries! Also makes great cupcakes!

Oven temperature is really important here, hard outer shell and uncooked centre means too hot, hockey puck means too cold… I found this out the hard way (mind the pun!)

Outstanding, even if the oven is too hot and it is an uncooked centre, it is hard to keep people away from this masterpiece

Servings: makes one loaf

PREP: 20 minutes

Cooking Time: one hour

Ingredients:

• 250g Plain flour
• 1 tsp Baking Powder
• 1 tsp Bicarbonate of soda (Baking Soda)
• 1 tsp Salt
• 3 or 4 Ripe Bananas
• 1 tsp Milk (or buttermilk)
• 1 tsp Cinnamon
• 1 tsp Nutmeg
• 2 tsp Vanilla
• 110g Butter 110g
• 200g Caster Sugar
• 2 Eggs
• 200g Milk Chocolate Chips
• 150g Chopped Walnuts

Preparation:

1. 1. Preheat oven to 170° C / 350°f
   2. Grease the sides of the loaf tin and line bottom of it with parchment paper (makes it easier to get the loaf out once baked)
   3. Cream butter with sugar in a mixer then add eggs one at a time to mix completely
   4. Add mashed bananas
   5. Mix well
   6. Add dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda, salt)
   7. Mix well
   8. Add flavouring (cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla)
   9. Mix well and add milk (or buttermilk) while mixing
   10. Fold in chocolate chips and nuts
   11. Pour into the greased and lined loaf tin and bake in the preheated oven for approximately 1 hours (loaf done when a toothpick poked into the centre comes out clean).
   12. Cool in the tine for ~10 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack

Awfully good cold or warm with butter or ice-cream! or just a simple slice.
