BANANA FRUIT LOAF
I found this gorgeous recipe in Ruth Isabel Ross' "Irish Baking Book", which I had originally given to my mum as a birthday present when spending a year abroad in Ireland. It is easy to make and just tastes so fruity. =)

Steps:
- Pre heat the oven to 180°C and line a small baking tin with baking paper.
- Mix the flour, the baking powder, the sugar and the raisins/sultanas in a bowl.
- Add the egg and the well mashed bananas. Blend toghether (The dough should be soft and creamy.).
- Fill the dough into your baking tin and bake for approximately 45 minutes (or until inserted toothpick comes out clean).
Tips:
- Choose the right bananas: Overripe bananas with brown spots are ideal for banana bread as they are sweeter and have a richer flavor.
- Mash the bananas thoroughly: Make sure the bananas are mashed until smooth, without any lumps, to ensure an even texture in the bread.
- Use melted butter: Melted butter adds moisture and richness to the bread. If using unsalted butter, add a pinch of salt to the batter.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in a tough, dense loaf. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the bread at the right temperature: The ideal temperature for baking banana bread is 350°F (175°C). This allows the bread to rise properly and develop a golden-brown crust.
- Check the doneness of the bread: Insert a toothpick or skewer into the center of the loaf. If it comes out clean, the bread is done. If it comes out with batter or crumbs attached, bake for a few more minutes.
- Let the bread cool before slicing: Allow the bread to cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing, to prevent it from crumbling.
Conclusion:
With its moist, flavorful texture and sweet banana taste, banana bread is a classic comfort food. Whether you prefer it simple or with the addition of nuts, chocolate chips, or other mix-ins, this versatile bread is sure to please. So next time you have overripe bananas on hand, give one of these recipes a try. You won't be disappointed!
