Servings: 9x5 inch loaf

Ingredients

• 2 cups of plain flour
• 1 teaspoon of baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon of salt
• 1/2 a cup of margarine
• 3/4 cup of brown sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1/4 cup of milk
  
• 2 1/3 cups of mashed ripe/overripe bananas

Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees ^oF (175 degrees ^oC or gas mark 5). Lightly grease a 9 by 5 inch loaf pan.
2. In a bowl, combine mashed bananas, margarine, sugar and milk. Mix to combine.
3. In a separate (preferably larger) bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Beat in the eggs. Add in the banana mixture. Beat with an electric mixer on intermediate speed for about 2 minutes. Add eggs and vanilla extract. Beat for about 1 minute on same speed.

4. Pour batter in an even way into the greased loaf pan. Put pan in oven on the center rack.

5. Bake for about one hour. You can find out if it's done by inserting a toothpick in your banana bread and if it comes out spotless (not all sticky and dirty with batter), that's it.
   

6. Let bread cool down in pan for about 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack. Serve sliced with butter.
