After a cracked top (which I don't mind, even ugly ducks taste good) and slightly underdone bottom I consulted the vast book of knowlodge (Mum) She recommended not over mashing the bananas and not to over mix it. Next one was much better. Depending on the bananas I will throw in an extra one for extra banana flovour now. Doesn't last long in my house.

Great recipe...
I doubled it and got 3 loaves. I also did what someone suggested and baked for one hour at 160 - and the tops didn't split (so thanks for that tip, whoever that was!).

Such a great recipe. I made it with gluten free flour and it worked beautifully. Light and fluffy. It made quite a bit of batter so I got a couple of muffins out of it too. Saving this for the next time I have some ripe bananas.

The best banana bread recipe. Tasted just like the one at cafe shops only fresh and delicious. I turned down the temp to 150-160deg fan forced half way through whilst checking. It rose nicely and baked golden brown. Im pleased to have a good recipe that is moist without the use of oil.

So easy to make and simply delicious. Husband and son loved it!
Preheat oven to 180°C bake. Grease and line a loaf pan (approximately 22-24cm x 13cm).
Beat butter, Chelsea Caster Sugar and Chelsea Soft Brown Sugar together until pale and creamy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Sift in flour, baking powder and cinnamon. Stir a couple of times to partially mix in.
In a separate smaller bowl, dissolve baking soda in milk. Add to butter mixture with bananas and walnuts, if using. Mix until combined.
Pour batter into prepared loaf pan. Bake for 1 hour or until a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean. Leave to cool in tin for 10 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack.
