Ingredients
  

  • 4 medium bananas
  • 1 large egg whisked
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1.5 cups all purpose flour / plain flour (180g)
  • 1 tablespoon white sugar
  • 4 tablespoon light brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 4 tablespoon powdered sugar / icing sugar

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F / 180°C / 160°C fan assisted.
  • Line a 9 x 5 inch loaf pan with baking parchment or a loaf pan liner.
  • Peel the bananas, break into chunks and place in a bowl. Use a fork to mash the chunks until they are smooth and mostly lump free.
  • Add the whisked egg and vanilla extract and mix.
  • In a separate bowl combine the flour, sugars, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
  • Add the banana mixture into the dry and use a spoon to mix all of the ingredients together until completely combined.
  • Stir in the oil.
  • Spoon the mixture into the prepared loaf pan and place on the middle shelf of your oven.
  • Bake for 35 - 45 minutes or until the banana bread has risen and the top has turned golden brown.
  • Remove from the oven and leave in the pan for five minutes or so before turning it out from the pan on to a wire rack to cool.
  • Once the loaf has cooled you can make the icing.
  • Do this by combining the powdered sugar with a little bit of water to get a consistency that is good for drizzling. I usually start with adding ½ teaspoon of water, stirring that in and then adding ¼ teaspoons of water until I have an icing that is perfect for drizzling & doesn't just flow off the loaf.
  • Drizzle the top of the loaf with the icing and allow to set before slicing and enjoying!
