Winter warming food - Avoca Banana Bread

 

I adore this Avoca recipe in the winter time. There's nothing more comforting than banana bread and a good cup of tea! The best time to eat it is about ten minutes after it's out of the oven. It's still warm but you're not going to burn yourself and when you put butter on, it spreads nicely over it without totally soaking in. The aromas in the kitchen after I make it are to die for!!!

Ingredients
8 oz plain flour
1 t. salt
1 heaped t. baking powder
1 t. cinnamon
4oz sugar
1 egg
3 oz oil
few drops of vanilla essence
2 1/2 oz pecan nuts, chopped
4 medium bananas, mashed

Sift the flour, salt, baking powder and cinnamon into a bowl, stir in sugar. Then mix in the egg, oil and vanilla essence, but do not beat. Fold in the pecans and mashed bananas, using a fork (again do not beat).
Bake for 50-60 mins in an oven at 180c and leave to cool for 10 minutes before removing it.
