  • ½ cup (125 ml) melted butter

Method:

Adjust the oven rack to the middle position and preheat the oven to 180 °C. Butter one large or two 20 cm x 10 cm x 7 cm deep loaf tins and line the bases with baking paper.

Beat the eggs, oil and melted butter on high speed until well blended.

Add buttermilk (or yoghurt) and beat in. Add contents of pack and mix in by hand with a spatula.

Add the mashed bananas and nuts. Fold through until evenly blended. Divide the mixture between the two loaf tins.

Level the tops. Bake for 1 hour until nicely browned. Turn out, remove paper from the bottom.

Leave to cool down completely before storing in an airtight container.

The banana flavour develops on standing. Serve as is, or toasted with a drizzle of honey.
