Good food, close to home

Discover farm shops, butchers, bakeries & every other local food producer near you.

No shop near you?

Some of the best producers in the country haven't got one — no counter, no farm gate, nowhere to visit at all. A search will never find them. They sell online instead.

Know a hidden gem?

Tell us about an independent producer you love. If we love them too, we'll feature them as a myfoody pick.

My Best Banana Bread Recipe

BakingServes 8Submitted by Tom S
My Best Banana Bread Recipe

This is one of my favourite things to make as it's dead easy, very tasty and means good bananas don't go to waste because they look a bit too far gone for the girls in the house. This is exactly the state you need the bananas to be in!

Ingredients

  • 2 very ripe mashed up bananas
  • 140g softened butter
  • 140g soft brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 140g self-raising flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • At least 200 grams of whatever leftover chocolate you have handy. I like chopped up mars bars best

Method

  1. Preheat your oven to 180C/160C fan. Butter a loaf tin then line the base and sides with baking paper.
  2. Mix the butter and sugar with an electric whisk until combined and creamy then add in the two eggs continuing to whisk until combined.
  3. Fold in the flour, baking powder, mashed bananas.
  4. Drop your chocolate of choice in and combine.
  5. Pour into tin and pop in oven for approx 45 minutes. Use a skewer to double check as it should come out clean when done.
  6. Remove from tin and allow to cool on a rack. Or don't. It's wicked when hot!
  7. The mars bars I tend to use usually have drifted south through the mix by this point to give a wonderful chewy chocolatey layer too.
