It was me who mentioned it, I use this recipe:

There is one on Netmums for a similar thing but in little bun cases, I'm going to try that soon.

I've got these in the oven. The comments on NMs say they are a bit greasy so I've only used 3oz marg.

Banana Fairy Cakes




2 eggs

100g/4oz self raising flour

100g/4oz butter/margarine

100g/4oz soft brown sugar

1 old banana that has been left in the bowl too long

Put oven on to 200 C/Gas 6.
Line a bun tin with cup-cake-cases.
Put all the ingredients into the food processor or hand whisk (best to start with butter & sugar first, then add the rest gradually) until all ingredients are in and smooth and feel light & airy.
Put a generous portion of mixture into each cup-cake-cases.
Pop into oven for between 12-20 mins depending on your oven!

I usually add a few chocolate drops to each cup-cake before putting in the oven, but you can leave plain, and sprinkle with icing sugar when they come out or just have them straight!
Delicious with ice-cream too

We always seem to have overripe bananas so I make alot of banana goodies. My hubby hates bananas but loves this one

75g butter
110g caster sugar
125g self raising flour
100g wholemeal flour
2tsp baking powder
2 eggs
4 bananas
handful of dried fruit (or a couple of kiddie sized)
1tsp cinamon

You just mash the bananas and chuck everything else in, and stir :clapping: Gas mark 4 50mins

I did the Netmums recipe earlier. Even with the butter reduced from 4oz to 3oz they felt quite greasy on the bottom. I did add chocolate chips though. I've not tasted them (I hate bananas) but my three children enjoyed them.

Perfect timing for me :thumbsup: I have just had to put some bananas into the freezer for banana bread because they had ripened a little too much.

Which recipe did you use Carol as it looks delicious:thumbsup:

I googled and then just chose one, there was loads to choose from.

3 or 4 bananas
1/3 cup melted butter
1 cup sugar, can reduce this to 3/4 cup
1 egg beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon baking soda
Pinch of salt
1 1/2 cups of all purpose flour

Heat the oven to gas mark 4

In a large bowl mix the butter into the mashed banana using a wooden spoon.

Mix in the sugar, egg and vanilla.

Sprinkle in the baking powder and salt and mix in.

Add the flour and mix.

Pour the mixture into a buttered 4 x 8 inch loaf tin and bake for an hour.



I actually cooked mine for longer as I didn't think it was cooked after the hour.

The children loved it so it's a great way to use up those speckled bananas :thumbsup:
If you use the silicone loaf tin you don't need to butter it, the bread comes out easily.

i had four over ripe bananas so I doubled the quantity and made 2 so effectively used two bananas to the recipe.

I was wondering the same thing.... no good at baking, everything comes out too thin, too crispy or too burnt, never heard of all purpose flour.

Chell

All purpose flour is the American name for plain flour.

charleyfarley
11-08-2010, 03:31 PM

I've just been given a load of bramley apples off mindees neighbour so apple recipes will be coming up :thumbsup:

Hi,

I love Banana bread and made one the other week with one of the children I look after. Now I'm doing my accounts and wondering how much to put down for the ingredients?

Any ideas?

Thanks
