Below is one of our CEO Amanda’s favourite recipe, Bill Granger’s dark chocolate banana bread. It’s a well-loved lunchbox treat in her family home and a great way to use the overripe bananas lingering in the fruit bowl at the end of the week.

Ingredients:

2 x cups plain flour

2 x teaspoons baking powder

1 x cup caster sugar

3 – 4 mashed bananas

125g butter melted

2 x eggs lightly beaten

1 x tsp vanilla extract

1 x cup dark choc chips

Icing sugar to dust

Method:

Preheat oven to 180 degrees

Grease large loaf pan (or line with baking paper)

Sift flour and baking powder into a bowl (I do not bother with sifting!!)

Add sugar

In a separate bowl combine bananas, butter, eggs, vanilla, and choc chips

Add to dry ingredients and stir until just combined

Bake for 1 – 1 and ¼ hours (I sometimes cover with foil for last 15 minutes if browning too quickly)
