Ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas, broken into pieces
- 2 tbsp golden syrup
- 150 g (¾ cup) brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 150 g (1 cup) self-raising flour
- 1 tsp mixed spice
- pinch of salt
- sliced banana or crushed pecans, to decorate (optional)
- butter, to serve
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 160°C. Grease a loaf tin with butter and line the base and sides with baking paper, leaving the sides overhanging.
- Using an electric stand mixer, beat the bananas, golden syrup, brown sugar and egg until mashed and well combined. Add the flour, mixed spice and salt and beat on low speed until well combined.
- Pour the batter into the lined tin and top with half a sliced banana or crushed pecans or leave the loaf plain - whatever takes your fancy. Bake for 1 hour or until a skewer withdraws clean. Turn out onto a wire rack to cool slightly.
- Serve still warm with butter or stand until cool and keep in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
