Banana Tea Loaf

As promised in my block stitch baby blanket post my banana tea loaf recipe.

This banana tea loaf  recipe has been around for as long as I can remember - my gran and my mom used to make it when I was little - and I have been using the same recipe for almost 30 years!

This is the perfect way to use over ripe (even almost mushy) bananas - strangely there always seem to be exactly four to six bananas that are over ripe in our fruit basket - sure there is a conspiracy????

It makes two delightfully moreish loaves (they last about five minutes in our house - none left to photograph!!) - and it is absolutely flop proof!!

I have no idea where the original recipe came from as it was in my gran's and my mom's handwritten recipe books.
