Whipping up a cake from scratch might be the ideal way to spend your week - but those long lists of pricey ingredients can be a bit off-putting. Thankfully for banana bread enthusiasts, that doesn't always have to be the case. With a straightforward recipe like the one from Candice Bannister, the baking expert behind Candy's Cupcakes, you can easily create a delightful loaf with just three key ingredients.
Candice said: "Thanks to the combination of golden syrup and bananas, you don't need to worry about this banana bread coming out of the oven too dry, as both ingredients will keep it moist and delicious." She added: "You must make sure your bananas are fully ripe though, as this will make the banana bread taste sweeter and more flavoursome.". This foolproof recipe uses the all-in-one approach, meaning it's incredibly simple and quick to whip up. Fire up the oven to 180C and ready your loaf tin by lining it with baking paper – a smidge of butter can help the parchment stay put.
Begin your batter by peeling and giving the bananas a good mash in a sizable bowl; a fork should do the trick. The chunkier your banana blend, the more texture you'll get in your finished bread, reports the Express. Next up, weigh your flour and sift it into the banana concoction, integrating everything with a spoon until you've got a nice thick dough. And for that essential sweetness, measure out some golden syrup and prep it to join the mix.
Pro tip: A lightly oiled spoon makes transferring syrup a breeze, preventing any sticky situations. Once you've poured the syrup into the bowl, give everything a good stir to create your final dough. For an added taste sensation, mix in half a cup of raisins or chocolate chips just before you spoon the mixture into the tin. Pop it in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, until the loaf has turned a lovely golden brown.
