Banana Nut Bread
January 13th, 2008 by Margot
INGREDIENTS
5 ripe bananas – mashed roughly (about 700g)
200 g unsalted butter (melted)
¾ – 1 cup of walnuts (chopped or not)
3 eggs (lightly beaten)
3 tbs of vanilla sugar (30g)
1 tbs of baking powder
1 cup of soft dark brown sugar
2 pinches of salt
3 cups plain flour
2 tsp ground cinnamon
½ tsp ground nutmeg
METHOD
Stir everything together and place in 2 medium size buttered tins or layered with teflon sheets.
You can use also 2 medium size bread loaf tins.
Bake in 150°C (248°F) for about an hour and 10 minutes.
Leave to cool down and get taste for at least couple of hours before serving. Taste even better the next day with a cup of cafe latte 
Makes about 16-20 servings.
- Make sure that you don’t put too much bananas, or you don’t mash them too much because cake will not grow like on the above picture. I use my fingers to mash bananas
- When my daughter was younger I used to chop nuts, right now I add them almost not chopped what is adding texture to the cake.

Hi,
Thank you for visiting.
Here are ingredients of Vanilla Sugar I have: Caster Sugar, Vanilla Seeds, Vanilla Flavour.
Instead of 2 tbs of vanilla sugar you can use vanilla extract with 2 tbs of regular sugar. It should work.
I don’t know where are you located but here in UK they sell it in Tesco.
Let me know how did it come out.
Greetings,
Margot

Also you can just put a vanilla pod cut down the centre in a big jar of sugar and it does the same thing. You should be able to pick one up at in the herb section of your supermarket. They last ages. Great cake Margot!!!!!!!!!!!!
