  • 2 Large Bananas
  • 1tsp Vanilla Essence

  • Add the chopped walnuts but keep about 2tbsp for the top
  • Transfer to a lightly greased and lined tin and scatter the remaining walnuts and some brown sugar on top
  • Bake in a preheated oven at 170°C (fan) for about 40 to 50 mins
  • Allow to rest in tin for about 10 minutes then turn onto a wire tray to cool
After about 40mins in the oven press a knife into the center of the bread and if it’s clean when pulled out the bread is done.

Bananas should be very ripe and brown but not gone off. Try substitute nuts with pecans, almonds, hazelnuts or even chocolate chips. When cold, wrap in greaseproof paper and tinfoil to preserve.
