Brown Banana Bread Recipe

I think if there was just one food I could eat for the rest of my life, banana bread might just win. Ever since I was little, my mum and I have always made banana bread together, so it's a great recipe to get kids into cooking. Plus, it seems to get tastier every time you make it! Anyway, enough of the ramble and on with the recipe...

Step One. Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Then add the eggs and beat mixture again.

Step 2. Add the mashed bananas, wholemeal flour, and orange juice to the mixture. Stir until just combined.

Step 3. Sift in the plain flour, baking powder, and baking soda. Mix again until all ingredients are just combined.
