Check out this easy banana bread recipe<\/h3>\n

As I had a few overly ripe bananas, now was the perfect time to bake a loaf of banana bread.<\/p>\n

Having never made one before, I scoured the internet for a recipe that seemed quick and easy. I found one from BBC Good Food and decided to give it a try.<\/p>\n

The BBC recipe claims that this sweet treat is a cross between banana bread and a drizzle cake.<\/p>\n

The description reads: \u201cThis easy banana loaf recipe is a quick bake that can be frozen. It’s great for using up overripe bananas, too.\u201d<\/p>\n

With the recipe looked promising at first glance, I decided to see what the reviews were saying. One claimed that it was the \u201cbest ever banana bread\u201d they made while another argued that it was \u201cawful\u201d.<\/p>\n

Moving on to making the banana bread, I started by weighing out and prepping all of the ingredients – this took no time at all.<\/p>\n

Ingredients<\/h3>\n

For banana bread <\/strong><\/p>\n

140g butter, softened<\/p>\n

140g caster sugar<\/p>\n

Two eggs, beaten<\/p>\n

140g self-raising flour<\/p>\n

One teaspoon baking powder<\/p>\n

Two ripe bananas, mashed<\/p>\n

For toppings <\/strong><\/p>\n

50g icing sugar<\/p>\n

Handful of dried banana chips<\/p>\n

Method\u00a0<\/h3>\n

I started by preheating my oven to 160 fan. For electric and gas ovens it would be 180C and gas mark four.<\/p>\n

The recipe then said to butter a 2lb loaf tin and line the base and sides with baking parchment. As I was using a loaf tin cake liner there was no need to grease the tin.<\/p>\n

Moving on to making the banana bread, I creamed together the softened butter and caster sugar together until the mixture was light and fluffy. This took around a minute to do so with a hand mixer.<\/p>\n
