Yummy Maple Banana Bread

Hello. Today it was my turn to take something yummy to my daughter's playgroup. I decided to make some yummy maple banana bread - it has bananas in it so it must be healthy...right?


I think that it turned out really well - and the whole loaf got eaten so it must have been alright!

I found the recipe in my favourite magazine - "Real Living" - in issue 71. Here is a scanned copy of the recipe. Yummy!

Here is the recipe from issue 71 of Real Living magazine:

Makes one loaf. prep time 25 minutes. Cooking time 1 hour.

Ingredients -  2 cups self-raising flour, 3/4 tsp of bicarb soda, 1/3 cup firmly packed sugar, 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon, pinch of salt, 4 overripe bananas, 2 eggs, 1/3 cup of maple syrup, 1 tsp vanilla extract, 1/2 cup of sour cream, 70g of melted butter (cooled).

2. Sift  flour, bicarb sugar, cinnamon and salt in a large bowl.

3. Place  bananas in a medium mixing bowl and mash well with a fork. Stir through the eggs, maple syrup, vanilla, sour cream and cooled butter until well combined.
