Banana loaf.

What could be more inviting than a slice of the banana loaf and a cup of tea or coffee? Ok, there could be many things more inviting, but who can resist it when it is freshly baked and made with whole ingredients?
I know I can not resist it, and the smell is still wafting throughout every room.

Banana loaf is very easy to make. I make mine in my Mycook thermal mixer. Or you could just do old school and use a wooden spoon and bowl. Either way works.

The recipe I have always used for the past 20 plus years is in the Edmonds cookbook; it is a New Zealand cookbook that every household had. It has never failed.

When using a thermal mixer to mix the batter; it is very easy to over mix and make a tough loaf. It is better to make small steps and increase as you go. Please remember a recipe is a guide. Please note that different thermal mixers may give a different result to the times given in the recipe and video.
Over ripe bananas will give a different result to firm ones. The recipe also can handle having the sugar reduced down as well. I found that you could use half the quantity very successfully.

When mixing the wet ingredients, you can cut down the time specified if you want a chunkier banana texture.
The times given are to my personal taste.

The loaf also freezes well and makes good food for tradesmen and construction workers or anyone who burns a lot of energy with their work. I used to make this for the sheep shearers and farm hands many moons ago.

So let’s go put the kettle on and have and have a slice. And come and join us in our Edmonds facebook group, and show us a photo of your banana loaf.

Do you have a favorite loaf to make?
