Equipment
- Mixing Bowl
- Loaf tin
Ingredients
- 125 g Butter
- 50 g Brown sugar
- 3 Eggs
- 225 g Gluten-free self-raising flour
- 1/2 tsp Gluten-free baking powder
- 100 g Sultanans
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 20 g Flaked almonds optional
Instructions
- First things first, preheat your oven to 180°C (Gas 4) and grease a 1kg loaf tin. This ensures your oven is hot and ready when your batter is.
- In a mixing bowl, beat the soft butter and brown sugar until it's pale, light, and fluffy. This creates a lovely base for our bread.
- Next, add the beaten eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. This helps create a smooth, well-incorporated batter.
- Now for the fun part! Add all the remaining ingredients: mashed bananas, flour, baking powder, spices, sultanas (or apricots), and vanilla extract. Mix everything well until you have a uniform batter.
- Pour your lovely batter into the prepared loaf tin. If you're using the flaked almonds and extra sugar, sprinkle them on top now.
- Pop the tin in the oven and bake for 50-60 minutes until it's golden brown. To check if it's done, insert a clean wooden skewer into the centre. If it comes out clean, your bread is ready!
- Let the bread cool for a few minutes in the tin, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely. Patience is key here, no matter how tempting it smells!
