Recipe - Banana Bread!!

Ingredients
285g/10oz plain flour
1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
1/2 tsp salt
110g/4oz butter
225g/8oz caster sugar
2 eggs
4 ripe bananas, mashed
85ml/3fl oz buttermilk
1tsp vanilla extract
Preheat the oven 180c/350f/Gas 4
Sift the flour, bicarbonate of soda and salt into a mixing bowl.
In a separate bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
 Add the eggs, mashed banana, buttermilk and vanilla extract to the butter and sugar mixture and mix well.(Don't the mashed bananas look really gross!)
 Your banana mixture should look something like this. 
 Then fold in your dry ingredients. (Flour, salt, bicarb)
 Make sure to grease your tin, then pour in your mixture. 
Place in the oven for an hour, or until golden brown. As you can see, I did a few muffin case sized ones, I also added dry fruit to that mixture. Liam doesn't like dried fruit, hence I didn't add it to the large loaf. 
If you are anything like me, whilst your banana bread is cooking, you will have to clean your kitchen! 
Once cooked you can enjoy your banana bread alone fresh out of the oven, or pair with ice-cream and toffee sauce for a delicious banoffee desert. 

Let me know if you guys try this!
