This is moist and delicious with loads of banana flavour! Friends and family love my banana bread - it's wonderful toasted, too. Once you taste this, you'll never throw away those ripe bananas again!

I got a very large batch, because I had to add a little milk and, by choice, some spices and walnuts. This rose the baking time and gave me an extra tough crust. My tin was just about too small as well. I turned it down to 160 when it'd been in there for about 40 minutes. It still turned out great, though!

My husband gave it ten out of ten, given he gives Michelin starred places a nine, this is exceptional. I made it in my stand mixer and because I couldn't be bothered to make another bowl dirty mashing the bananas, I just sliced them into the mixing bowl after I had creamed the butter and sugar (my sugar was less than soft and had to be bashed with a rolling pin). I didn't pre beat the eggs either. I started reading the other reviews when it was in the oven and turned the temperature down to 160 degC after about 20 minutes. It was cooked at 55 minutes. Really yummy and I will make it again when we next have bananas on their way out.

Lovely recipe. I added a small dash of lime juice to the banana for a fresh flavour.
