I'd be interested in a breadmaker banana bread recipe!  I love banana bread/loaf cake but whenever I make it it turns out like a brick - I know it's supposed to be reasonably dense, but I get past 'a bit dense' into 'might as well be plutonium'!

Over the week-end I'll find the recipe and post it here - pleased to if it is of use.

I also put a recipie for banana bread on the competitions page.  Differant ingredients form Ice's recipie but mine is a very moist cake/bread.  Easy to do all in one bowl and mix.  Bake and scoff!   Yummy

Help!  I'm being hassled by the Germans!  I will try your recipe soon and try a taste test.  Yours has more ingredients in than mine.  People at work keep bringing me all thier old bananas to make some for them.  But they don't bring the flour,eggs and marg too. Cheeky beggers!

Simple solution = make it without all the other ingredients and hand it back  they will soon get the message!

The recipe I have for banana bread is the Nigella one which is very good. It has sultanas soaked in rum in it. Yummy.

Just like to say thanks to Ice for her banana bread recipe which we all enjoyed. Quite right about the freezer though - it didn't last that long!
Haven't tried mrs ploppy's yet though - someone ate all the bananas!

Thanks, Learner - I've bookmarked it to try next time I have overripe bananas.  As a general rule, how many bananas make a cup?

I found about 2 and a half bananas once mashed [but depends on size of your bananas] = one cup.
(I eat the bit left over!) 

Sorry - forgot to say that all measurements are "American".... cup-size and spoons!
