RICH, MOIST, YUMMY BANANA BREAD...

No long story here, this is pure joy on a plate!

2 cups of Flour
1 Teaspoon Baking soda
4 Very ripe Bananas
1/2 Teaspoon Cinnamon powder
150grms White Chocolate
A Handful of Almonds
1/2 Cup Butter (melted)
3/4 Cup Brown Sugar
2 Eggs (beaten)

Toast your almonds for about 3 minutes in a dry pan over the stove to release the nutty flavour.

Pre-heat oven.

Put almonds in the dry mill part of your blender and blend it roughly so you still have chewable bits. Mash your bananas with a potato masher and break up your chocolate into bits.

In a bowl mix your butter and brown sugar in a bowl then add eggs.

In another bowl sift flour, baking powder and cinnamon.

Combine banana, chocolate and almonds into butter, egg and sugar mix then gradually fold in flour mix until its all properly combined. Pour into lightly greased 9" x 5" baking pan.

Bake for 60 - 65 minutes. Check by inserting a skewer into the middle, if it comes out clean, your bread is ready, if not allow it to bake for another 5 - 10 minutes.

Be careful not to keep opening the oven or opening it too soon cos the rush of cold air into the oven will make your bread collapse then you'll have a dense bread.

Allow it to cool for 10 minutes before gently turning it out onto a cake rack or plate.

Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a dusting of cinnamon.

Tuck in and enjoy!
