BANANA LOAF - A delicious and healthy version of an old favourite

Ingredients
175g plain flour
2 tsps baking powder
1/2 tsp bicarbonate of soda
1/2 tsp salt
125ml Vegetable Oil
150g caster sugar
2 large eggs (lightly beaten)
4 small, very ripe bananas (mashed)
1 tsp vanilla extract

Method
Preheat the oven to 170°C/325°F/Gas Mark 3. Grease and line a loaf tin.

Sieve the flour, baking powder, bicarb. of soda and salt into a bowl and mix together. In a
large bowl combine the cold-pressed rapeseed oil with the sugar and beat together until
blended.

Add to this the beaten eggs, then the mashed bananas and lastly add the vanilla extract.
Gently stir. Add the flour mixture a tablespoonful at a time, ensuring each spoonful is
thoroughly stirred in before adding the next one.

Pour into the greased loaf tin and bake it in the middle of the oven for 1-1.25 hours, until
golden brown and on inserting a knife/skewer, it comes out clean.

Leave the loaf to cool slightly in the tin before turning it out on to a wire rack.
