Banana Bread


I made this yummy, sticky banana bread today (had to do something with my off bananas). I tried to make it a bit healthier too by adding brown sugar and brown flour but I didn't have any butter so had to use olive oil spread (so it's dairy free too). I also sprinkled on some seeds (pumpkin and sunflower) for extra crunch and goodness. 

Ingredients:
4 ripe bananas, mushed. 
1 1/2 cups whole-weat/all purpose flour.
1/3 cup melted butter/margarine.
1 egg, beaten.
1 cup brown/white sugar.
1 tsp vanilla essance.
1 tsp cinnamon (optional).
1 cup chopped pecan nuts (optional).
1 tsp baking soda.
pinch of salt.

Method: 

  • preheat oven to 175 degrees c.
  • mix with wooden spoon bananas and butter in big bowl.
  • add egg, sugar and vanilla essence to banana mix.
  • sprinkle in baking soda and salt. mix.
  • add the flour (pecans and cinnamon) last.
  • pour into buttered/lined 4x8 inch loaf pan.
  • sprinkle over a seed mix with pumpkin and sunflower seeds. 
  • bake for 1 hour.
  • cool on rack and slice.
