Ingredients:

Serves 6-8 | 30 mins prep | 1 hour cook | Approx 1527 calories and 254 per serve based on 6 people

• 1 packet of Maltesers (I am using honeycomb Maltesers)

• 2-3 very ripe bananas

• 1 teaspoon of baking soda or bicarbonate of soda

• 50 grams butter

• 1 tsp vanilla essence

• 1 large beaten egg

• 1/4 cup of white sugar

• 1-1/4 cups of flour (if using 2 bananas go for 1 cup, if 3 use the whole amount)

• 1 Loaf tin lined with baking paper

Instructions:

Step 1: Preheat oven to 180 degrees

• Get all of your ingredients measured and ready to go

Step 2: Prepare the bananas

• Peel and mash the bananas with a fork in a bowl

Step 3: Add the other ingredients

• Microwave your butter for 20-30 seconds

• Add your sugar, baking soda, vanilla essence and whisk into the bananas and butter and get some of the lumps out

Step 4: Add your flour

• I use a sieve to add the flour in and whisk, it will feel a little heavier on the whisk

Step 5: Add the Maltesers (save a small handful to put on top)

• Add the Maltesers in and whisk gently, and then pour into the loaf tin

• Add a few of the Maltesers on top

Step 6: Bake

Bake the banana bread in the oven at 160 degrees, it will take approximately between 40-50 minutes depending on the size of the loaf tin. I usually check after 35 minutes, you will know when the cake is done as no wet mixture will show on the fork when you put it through the cake.
