One Bowl Banana and Chocolate Loaf

One bowl – minimal dishes – winning!

Do you have old bananas in your fruit bowl that no one is eating?
You need to make this super easy one bowl banana and chocolate loaf.

Slice and eat fresh.
Spread gorgeous butter over the top.
Or pop it in the toaster and spread with butter for a warm tasty treat.

All you need;

Bananas
Chocolate chips, chocolate drops or chopped chocolate
An egg
Yoghurt or sour milk
Neutral oil
Self raising flour
Salt
Vanilla essence

Substitutions;

If you don’t have any yoghurt simply use one cup of sour milk. You can make sour milk by adding 2 tbsps of lemon juice, white vinegar or apple cider vinegar to each cup of milk.

If you don’t have self raising flour. You can use 1 1/2 tsp of baking powder for each cup of flour. So for this recipe you will need 2 cups of plain flour and 3 tsps of baking powder.

What to do with your old bananas;

If you have old bananas and no time to whip up this great recipe. Simply pop them in the freezer. Some people will tell you to peel them first. But why? Their skin is already a package. Go low waste.
Just simply get them out the night before you bake and let them defrost. They will be the perfect texture for this recipe once thawed.

Loaf Pan Size

This is a large recipe. You will want to use a large loaf pan (something like you would cook a meat loaf in). I have used a 28cm enamel loaf tin like this one.

Before you begin to bake

Remember to preheat your oven before you begin to bake, and line your loaf tin before you get sticky fingers and need to open drawers.
Today I have used compostable baking paper. Another great idea is to use old butter papers.
