Ingredients
- 75 g butter, plus extra to grease
- 3 large very ripe bananas, about 350g peeled weight
- 175 g light brown soft sugar
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 1 Tbsp. vanilla bean paste
- 175 g plain flour
- 1 tsp. baking powder
- 50 g toasted hazelnuts, roughly chopped
- 100 g dark chocolate, roughly chopped
Directions
- Step 1Preheat oven to 180°C (160°C fan) mark 4. Grease and line a 900g loaf tin with baking parchment. Melt the butter in a medium pan over low heat. Once melted, increase the heat to medium-high and cook, swirling the pan occasionally, until the butter is golden brown. Pour into a large heatproof bowl and set aside to cool slightly.
- Step 2Pulse bananas in a food processor until smooth, alternatively mash well with a fork. Tip into the butter bowl and add the sugar, egg and vanilla. Mix until combined. Next mix in the flour and baking powder, followed by the hazelnuts and chocolate.
- Step 3Scrape into the lined tin and smooth to level. Bake for 1hr 5min, or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Leave to cool completely in the tin. Serve in slices with a little butter, if you like.
To store
Once cool, store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
