Pieday Friday – My recipe for Banana Bread Bites

In honour of #TheGreatBloggerBakeOff, which is taking place each Wednesday to coincide with The Great British Bake Off, I have decided to move my regular Pieday Friday recipe column to Wednesdays for the duration of the series. I thought that two recipes each week might be a little too difficult even for me to achieve, so it’s now one recipe each week, on a Wednesday, based on the theme set on GBBO. This week it is bread and of course I didn’t just make a standard loaf. Oh no, I went for it with a big batch of banana bread and customised the recipe that I found on the BBC website by adding juicy sultanas and making banana bread ‘bites’ using a square muffin baking tin, rather than a loaf. Here’s the recipe:

285g plain flour, 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda, ½ tsp salt, 110g butter, 225g caster sugar, 2 free-range eggs, 4 ripe bananas, 85ml of milk mixed with 1½ tablespoon of lemon juice, two handfuls of sultanas, 1 tsp vanilla extract

Here’s how I did it:

Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4. Cream the butter and sugar together before adding the 2 eggs, mashed bananas, milk and vanilla extract and mixing well. Sieve the flour, barcarbonate and salt on top of the sugar mixture and fold in. Grease a muffin tin and spoon the banana mixture in. Bake in the oven for around 15 minutes, or until risen and golden-brown. Eat warm with a dollop of ice cream, or leave to cool and pop in your packed lunch box for tea break!

 I still cant believe that Cassiefairy.com has made it onto the Cosmo Blog Awards 2014 shortlist for Best Lifestyle Blog! It would mean the world to me if you would vote for my blog before voting closes on 29th August – thank you SO much!
