{has_more=false, offset=256, total=256, results=[{comment_text=Hi. I doubled the recipe for two loaves and used 3 ripe average bananas and only 1.5 cups of milk as a lot of people warned it is moist inside and crusty outside. So little less milk and banana, ratio was one and a half wet ingredients for two loaves. And only 3 eggs instead of what would be four. I added everything listed in this recipe and Baked at 180 for 1.10 minutes and used cooking paper all around it to stop burning on top., approved=true, user_name=George Graham, hs_createdate=1702249849295, rating_new__1_5_=5, id=11175627268}, {comment_text=The best banana loaf, approved=true, user_name=Alison Graham, hs_createdate=1702249849157, rating_new__1_5_=5, id=11175442326}, {comment_text=Excellent recipe.

Method

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.
