Ingredients
250g
ripe bananas, peeled weight, plus an extra banana for decoration
200g
self-raising flour
397g
tin condensed milk
Optional
Cinnamon to dust
Directions
Step 1Preheat oven to 180°C (160°C fan) mark 4. Line a 900g loaf tin with baking parchment. In a large bowl, mash the 250g bananas thoroughly with a fork. Slice the extra banana in half lengthways and set aside.
Step 2Add the flour and all but 1tbsp of the condensed milk (reserve this for the glaze) to the mashed bananas. Mix together until fairly smooth with a wooden spoon. Scrape into the tin and place the sliced banana on top lengthways.
Step 3Bake for 1hr 5min, until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Brush over reserved condensed milk and dust with cinnamon if using. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
To store: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
For a twist, mix in 100g milk, dark or white chocolate chips at step 2.
