Banana and Blueberry Bread

// December 2nd, 2009 // Food

This is one of my favourite recipes from Cooking with Tools Edn 1, and one that I have customised from the classic Kiwi Edmonds Cookbook. I usually double the recipe and make a few loaves. I slice them when they have cooled and keep them in the fridge. Then each morning Mark makes me a coffee and toasts a few slices while I get an extra twenty minutes sleep.

ingredients

1 3?4 cups self raising flour
1?4 tsp baking soda
1?4 tsp salt
1?2 cup sugar
2 eggs
1?4 cup milk
75g melted butter
1 cup mashed banana (as ripe as possible)
1 cup frozen or one punnet of fresh blueberries

method
Preheat oven to 180°C.
Sift flour, baking soda and salt into a bowl. Mix in sugar. In another bowl beat eggs then stir in milk, butter, banana and blueberries. Combine with the dry ingredients until combined (don’t over mix) place mixture into loaf tins which have been greased/lined. Bake for 45-55 mins or a skewer inserted comes out clean. Allow to cool for approx 10mins then turn out onto a cooling tray.
