Banana and Walnut Loaf

This Banana and Walnut Loaf recipe is so simple and so delicious! This recipe is a family favourite during winter, but I find I don't ever get complaints when I make it other times of the year. Slice it up and enjoy with melting butter.

Makes 1 Loaf with 8 servings | Less than 60 minutes
Ingredients
2 bananas
2 teaspoons gold syrup
¾ cup sugar
1 egg
1 cup self-raising flour
pinch of salt
½ cup crushed walnuts

1. Pre-heat the oven to 180⁰C. In a bowl mash bananas and golden syrup together.

2. Add egg, sugar, sifted flour, crushed walnuts and salt and mix until combined well. When everything is mixed well, you should get a nice smooth batter.

3. Grease and line your loaf pan. Pour the batter into the pan and let it bake in the oven for 30 minutes, or until a skewer is inserted in the middle of the loaf and it comes out clean.

4. When cooked, allow to cool in the tin for 10 minutes, then turn onto the wire rack to cool.

Notes and Variations
I love the crunch the walnuts gives in this banana loaf. However you can substitute walnuts with other delicious things like fig, chocolate ricotta, sultanas, blueberries or pecan nuts just to name a few.
