You Will Need (9 things)

  • 220 g Self-Raising Flour
  • ½ tsp Salt
  • ½ tsp Mixed Spice
  • 100 g Margarine
  • 450 g ripe Banana(s) (approx. 4-5 peeled bananas)
  • 120 g Caster Sugar
  • 100 g Sultanas
  • 50 g Walnuts
  • 2 Egg(s) (lightly beaten)

Steps (6 steps, 40 minutes)

  1. 1

    Turn on your oven to 180C(350F) and then grease and flour a 600g loaf tin.

  2. 2

    Sieve flour, salt and spice into a mixing bowl. Rub in margarine until mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Mash bananas and add to mixing bowl.

  3. 3

    Place walnuts into a plastic bag and crush them into small pieces using a rolling pin, then place into mixing bowl along with the eggs and caster sugar.

  4. 4

    Use an electric beater to mix until the mixture is well-blended and there are as little lumps as possible. Add in sultanas and stir with a wooden spoon.

  5. 5

    Pour mixture into tin and bake in the oven for 45mins to an hour(or until loaf is well risen and has a pale golden colour on top). Once cooked leave loaf in tin for 5 mins and then place on a cooling rack.

  6. 6

    I like to eat the loaf warm(10 seconds in the microwave if not fresh out of the oven) with a bit of extra margarine on top.
