Does anybody have a good recipie for this?

I make this one and it always turns out well.

Preheat oven to 180

Flour a non stick loaf tink.I think mines a 2lb loaf tin not sure it's about 8 inch long.

225g (8oz) plain flour (Sieved)
1 heaped teasp. baking powder (Sieved)
1 teasp. ground cinnamon (Sieved)
110g (4oz) caster sugar
1 egg, beaten
75ml Sunflower oil
Half teaspoon of vanilla essence
50g pecan nuts, roughly chopped
50g Dark choc chips.
2 to 4 medium-sized ripe to very ripe bananas, mashed

If you want it extra bananaey use 4 bananas I generally use 2 to 3.

I don't messs about I just crack the egg in the bowl, sqoosh the bananas in my hands. Sieve in the flour, baking powder and cinnamon. Throw the rest of the ingredients in and let the stand mixer to the work until it's all well mixed and ready to pour into the loaf tin.

Takes 40 to 50 mins depending on your oven, some will take 60 mins. My fan oven usually takes 40 mins.
Once it's risen and very brown take it out and let it cool in the tin for 10 mins then dump it out on a cooling rack. It tastes just as good if not better the next day. Cut once fully cooled although hubby likes when it's still warm it's almost puddeny.

Thanks guys!

Gonna try one out today-doin 16km on the bike later so I reckon I'll deserve a slice or three!

Here's my scone receipe:

3 cups plain flour
1/4 cup sugar
2 and 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon of bread soda
170g butter, cubed (put it in the freezer to chill)
1/2 cup of soaked walnuts
240ml buttermilk, chilled

A friend of mine from Kenmare puts in a cup of sliced sun dried tomatoes, some olives and a few mixed herbs-makes a really nice savoury version that goes well with tomato soup:)

Nigel Slater's recipe is the one I use

175g flour
175g sugar
175g butter
Teaspoon of baking powder
3 large eggs
capful of dark rum
Bar of good dark chocolate
some hazelnuts
2 large bananas

Whizz the sugar, the butter, the flour and baking powder. Add the eggs one at a time and mix. Mix the bananas in. Toast the sliced hazelnuts in a pan over a low heat. Add them to the mix with the broken up chocolate. Add the rum and mix again. Pour the batter into a greased and lined baking tray and cook for 40 mins or so.
