Nice a simple.

Sometimes add walnuts as well.

Yes, looks very good! Have just made one myself!!!

Think it was a bit dirty pulling an old bunch of bananas out of the kitchen bin, but they were kind of protected in their skins haha

Will post photo's in about 1 hours time with the results!

Followed that recipe ^

[thegman]

[escargot]

too late for me but good call

[escargot]

yum yum.

[calibrax]

This recipe is so good I had to make another batch. I doubled all the quantities (as I had about 10 speckled bananas to use up!) and it made three nice loaves. Nice crust, and lovely moist interior. Mmmmmm....

Will have a go at this soon. To hell with the diabetes! Might add a little cinnamon, mmmm

[escargot]

Calibrax, that looks great. I guess the only criticism I have with the recipe I followed is that it could do with a bit more banana (like yours).

Made this one last night added a few sultanas to the op's recipe.
