Chunky Banana Bread

Bake some delicious banana bread. Recipe devised by Kate Morris and Sally Brown.

Remember to ask a grown-up for help.

You will need:

This should take about 60 minutes

• 1 ripe banana
• 3 dessert spoons sunflower oil plus a little for greasing
• 50g golden caster sugar
• 110g plain flour
• 1 level teaspoon baking powder
• 1 egg
• 3 rounded dessert spoons of raisins
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Step 1

Before cooking, wash your hands and put an apron on. Weigh and measure all the ingredients. There should be enough for 6-8 helpings using the quantities shown.

Step 2

First peel the banana and put it into one of the bowls. Use the fork to mash up the banana. Add the sunflower oil. This is now called the 'wet bowl'.

Step 3

In the other bowl, put the golden caster sugar and mix together with the flour and baking powder to make a 'dry bowl'.

Step 4

Break the egg in the cup and beat with the fork then add it to the wet bowl. Add the raisins too.

Step 5

Measure the vanilla extract into the wet bowl. Stir all of the wet ingredients together. Now tip the 'dry bowl' into the 'wet bowl'. Give your mixture a big stir.

Step 6

You will need to ask a grown-up for help with this part. Oil a loaf tin with sunflower oil and pour in the mixture. Now put it on a baking tray and into a pre-heated oven at 180ºC fan/ 200ºC/Gas 6 for 30–40 minutes, or until completely cooked through.

Step 7

Once the Chunky Banana Bread has cooled down, carefully cut it into slices and eat it!

Step 8
