Banana Bread

This is a great way to use up those leftover bananas. When bananas get a bit too ripe if I don't have time to turn them into something delicious at that stage I just freeze them and when I have the time, thaw them and they can easily be used. Much better than throwing them out to the chickens (who wouldn't agree because they love ripe bananas!)

I often double (or even quadruple) this recipe when I find my freezer is overflowing with frozen bananas. 

• 3 large bananas - over ripe and mashed (or out of the freezer and thawed)
• 125 grams butter
• 1 cup sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 tsp baking soda dissolved in 1 tsp milk
• 1 1/2 cups flour

1. Cream butter and sugar
2. Add eggs and banana and beat to combine
3. Add flour and soda dissolved in milk and stir until just mixed
4. Spread into a loaf tin
5. Bake at 180 degrees for about an hour
