Banana bread, take 1… Since I’ve started doing a bit of baking I was super excited to make a banana bread. I can remember mum making banana bread when I was a child and I have always absolutely loved it. I found the recipe I used online, and rustled it up late in the evening… I even had to swap out baking powder for bicarbonate of soda (Google said this was a thing) as I was unprepared lol!
The recipe advised a bake time of around 30 mins but my skewer was still very wet at this time so I would say my bread was in around 40 minutes. It isn’t perfect and there is room for improvement but I am learning with every bake and having great fun too.
