BANANA BREAD

"Time flies like an arrow; fruit flies like a banana” - Groucho Marx

Banana bread! I don't need to convince you do I? Chocolate is a wonderful thing but there are so many beautiful things that come out of fruit being baked! I'm gushing, I know but it's worth it. Rule of life: banana bread is always worth it. What you’ll need: ½ cup softened butter ¾ cup sugar 3 eggs 2 ½ cup mashed overripe bananas 1 full teaspoon vanilla 2 cups flour 1 ½ teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon cinnamon ½ teaspoon grated nutmeg (optional)  How to:  1. Preheat your oven to 350°Celsius and grease your baking dish.   2. Beat together butter and sugar until creamy and the sugar is dissolved. Add one egg at a time and keep whisking. Then add mashed bananas and vanilla. Keep whisking.   3. In another bowl combine flour, baking soda, cinnamon and nutmeg (if you have some) and whisk well.  4. Add the flour to the egg mixture slowly and blend. Pour batter into your baking dish. 5. Bake for 30 – 40 minutes or till a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean. Foodnotes:  Serve warm drizzled over with honey on top.  If you have walnuts at hand, chop them up and chuck them into the batter.
