Mash the bananas with a fork, then add in the butter, egg, sugar and blend with a hand mixer until creamy. Now add in the vanilla extract and melted butter and blend more until combined.
Sift in the self raising flour, then fold in until just combined. DONT OVER MIX
Add in any extra flavours like chocolate chips or chopped walnuts.
Line a loaf pan with baking paper, this recipe is for a 9 x 3 inch loaf pan. Check the notes for multipliers on bigger loaf pans.
Evenly spread the cake batter in the loaf pan and place in the middle rack of the oven. Baking time depends on your oven. I use a convection oven and it takes around 30-35 minutes to bake this banana bread. Make sure you use a wooden skew after 30 minutes, poke the banana bread in the centre of the pan. If the skew comes out dry, the banana bread is done.
Set on a cooling rack to cool for 10-15 minutes.
Notes
This recipe yields approximately four cups of batter which fills a 8 x 4 inch loaf pan. Use the following multipliers for different size loaf pans:
For a 5 3/4 x 3 1/4 Inch Loaf Pan use 1/2 the Batter
For a 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 Inch Loaf Pan use 1 1/2 times the batter
