Method

  • step 1

    Heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Line a 900g/2lb loaf tin with baking parchment. In a large bowl, mash together the bananas and the sugar with the back of a fork. Add the eggs and mix well with an electric hand whisk until fully incorporated, then add the butter and mix for a couple mins more to blend everything together. Sieve in the flour and baking powder and fold together with a spatula, then add the walnuts and chocolate chips. Give everything one final mix before tipping into the lined loaf tin.

  • step 2

    Bake for 1 hr 5 mins or until a skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean. Leave to cool slightly in the tin, then turn out and serve cut into thick slices, either warm or at room temperature. Any uneaten cake will keep in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

I really loved this recipe!! I used 7 latundan bananas, peeled and frozen at peak ripeness. If you are using cavendish or very ripe bananas in general, cut the sugar. I used local Belizean 75% cacao chocolate; if using a sweeter chocolate, cut the sugar. I didn't have any butter issues; in a…

My favourite and go to Banana Bread recipe! I use a bar of Cadbury’s Dairy Milk chopped up for my chocolate chips.
