Not quite so plain as it's got walnuts in it, but super yummy!
I was craving it last week and pretty much polished off the whole loaf on my own!!
No wonder I had to go out and buy new pants today lol!!

Banana Walnut Bread

Ingredients
? 300g (2 cups) self-raising flour
? 70g (1/3 cup, firmly packed) brown sugar
? 100g walnuts, coarsely chopped
? 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
? 2 eggs, lightly whisked
? 250ml (1 cup) milk
? 1 cup (about 2 large) mashed banana
Method
1. Preheat oven to 180?C. Line the base and sides of a 6cm-deep, 20 x 10cm loaf pan with non-stick baking paper.
2. Sift the flour into a large bowl. Add the sugar, walnuts and bicarbonate of soda, and stir to combine.
3. Add the egg, milk and banana, and gently fold until well combined. Spoon the mixture into the lined pan. Bake in oven for 45 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Set aside to cool completely. Cut into slices to serve.

i have made this one it's great

Melt and mix banana bread ( i add choc drops)

55g (1/4 cup) firmly packed brown sugar
30g (1/4 cup) almonds, chopped
375ml sour cream
1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
125g unsalted butter, melted
1 cup caster sugar
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 3/4 cups plain flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp ground cinnamon
2 ripe bananas, mashed

Preheat oven to 180C. Grease and line two 10 x 18cm loaf tins with baking paper. In a bowl, mix together the brown sugar and almonds and put aside.

In a large bowl, mix together the sour cream and bicarbonate of soda, set aside for 5 minutes then stir in the melted butter, sugar and eggs. In another bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and cinnamon. Gradually fold in the sour cream mixture, followed by the bananas.

Pour the mixture equally into the prepared tins and sprinkle the brown sugar mixture on top.

Bake for 1-11/2 hours or until a skewer comes out clean. Set aside and cool in tins for about 20 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack to cool completely

This is a very simple recipe...

1 cup self raising flour
1 cup sugar
1 cup coconut
1 cup milk
2 mashed banana's

Mix it all together and bake till golden brown

it is a very very wet mixture.. Makes nice muffins too with a few choc chip in it

(extra tip ~ replace the bananas with 2 apples very well drained after cooking and you have apple muffins)

This easy a great recipe - easy as, pretty low fat, and oh so yummy!

Preparation Time 15 minutes

Cooking Time 50 minutes

Makes 1 loaf

Ingredients (serves 10)Melted low-fat dairy spread, to grease
265g (1 3/4 cups) self-raising flour
40g (1/4 cup) plain flour
1 tsp ground cinnamon
140g (2/3 cup, firmly packed) brown sugar
125ml (1/2 cup) skim milk
2 eggs, lightly whisked
50g butter, melted, cooled
2 overripe medium bananas, mashed

Method
Preheat oven to 180?C. Brush an 11 x 21cm (base measurement) loaf pan with melted dairy spread to lightly grease. Line the base and 2 opposite sides with non-stick baking paper, allowing it to overhang.

Sift the combined flours and cinnamon into a large bowl. Stir in the sugar and make a well in the centre. Place the milk, eggs, melted butter and banana in a medium bowl, and stir until well combined. Add the banana mixture to the flour mixture and stir until just combined. Spoon the mixture into the prepared pan and smooth the surface.

Bake in preheated oven for 45-50 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Remove from oven and set aside in the pan for 5 minutes. Turn onto a wire rack to cool completely. Cut into slices to serve.

Notes & tips
This banana bread will keep in an airtight container out of direct sunlight for up to 3 days. Alternatively, place in an airtight container, then label, date and freeze for up to 1 month. Place in the fridge overnight to thaw.
