Well, however that happened it&#8217;s certainly around about time for the November Tea Loaf of The Month, so let&#8217;s BAKE. Banana bread recipe comin&#8217; atcha.<\/p>\n<p>Everyone has their own favourite version, and here&#8217;s my personal take on it. This one is a doddle to make, it&#8217;s very tasty and it&#8217;s great if you&#8217;re wanting to use up a few narnas that are far past their best.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<p>Ingredients:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>100g butter, softened<\/li>\n<li>150g caster sugar<\/li>\n<li>1\/2 teaspoon of ground allspice<\/li>\n<li>4 medium size bananas, mashed with a fork<\/li>\n<li>2 eggs, lightly beaten<\/li>\n<li>125g seedless raisins<\/li>\n<li>75g candied mixed citrus peel (from the bakery aisle)<\/li>\n<li>225g self-raising flour, sifted<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>1. Start by preheating your oven to 180C or Gas Mark 4. If you have an electric fan oven, only preheat to 170C.\u00a0Prepare a 1kg (2lb) loaf tin by lightly greasing it and lining with baking parchment.<\/p>\n<p>2. Cream together the sugar, butter and allspice.<\/p>\n<p>3. Chuck in all the other ingredients and give it a darned good stir until it&#8217;s all combined.<\/p>\n<p>4. Pour the mixture into your prepared loaf tin, and smooth the top to make it level.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<p>5. Cook for around 1 hour to 1 &amp; 1\/2 hours, until golden on top. The cake is cooked if a toothpick inserted into the middle of the cake comes out clean. If you&#8217;re worried about the top burning before the middle is cooked, pop some kitchen foil over the top of the cake towards the end of baking.<\/p>\n<p>6. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes, then remove from tin and allow to finish cooling on a wire rack.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<p>7. Slice, scoff. The end.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pennygolightly.com\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/IMGP2696.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1820 aligncenter lazyload\" title=\"slice of banana bread\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.pennygolightly.com\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/IMGP2696-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1820 aligncenter lazyload\" title=\"slice of banana bread\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pennygolightly.com\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/IMGP2696-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pennygolightly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/IMGP2696-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.pennygolightly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/IMGP2696-768x1024.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/noscript><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Fancy a bit of this one?
