Banana and Walnut Bread

When I lived in Perth, one of the jobs I worked, was as a Catering Coordinator, where I catered to 90 children 5 days a week; 3 meals a day. Preparing Afternoon Tea was my favourite, because it involved baking yummy things. Banana Bread was one of the children's most looked forward too, treat. After trying and testing over a hundred recipes in the last eight years, I must say this is my favourite. Quick and easy to make and great to taste.

Here's the recipe!

Banana and Walnut Bread (makes a 1 kg. loaf)
Ingredients
Over ripe bananas - 4
Walnuts - 50 grams roughly chopped
Plain Flour - 200 grams
Milk - 40 ml
Caster Sugar - 100 grams
Brown Sugar - 70 grams
Baking powder - 1 1/2 tsp.
Baking Soda - 1/4 tsp.
Cooking Oil - 170 ml.
Eggs - 4
Method
Set the oven to 180 degrees C. Grease and line a 1 kg loaf tin with baking paper. Mash the banana and both the sugars together in a bowl. Drizzle in the oil, constantly beating with a balloon whisk till the mixture is emulsified. Add the eggs in one at a time and mix well after each addition. Beat in the sifted flour, soda and baking powder and stir in the nuts. Pour into the prepared tin and bake for 45 minutes or till a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean.

Just a few tips.
1. Make sure the bananas are over ripe, because thats what gives the bread a beautiful flavour.
2. I say beat in the flour and not fold it in, like in other cake recipes, because I want the banana loaf to have a "bready" texture.
