Banana bread

Ingredients

• 2 large Eggs
• 1 1/4 (250g) cups caster sugar
• 1/2 (112g) cup vegetable oil
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 tbsp natural yoghurt
• 3 large ripe bananas, mashed
• 1 1/2 cups walnuts, toasted and chopped
• 1 2/3 (250g) cups plain flour
• 1 tsp bicarbonate soda
• 1/2 tsp Ground Cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp salt

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 180°C (160°C fan-forced). Grease and line base of a regular 21cm x 11cm loaf pan.
2. Beat eggs and sugar together in a stand mixer or with electric beaters on medium-high speed for 10 minutes, or until very thick and pale and the mixture forms a ribbon when beater is lifted. Reduce speed to low and beat in the oil in a steady stream. Add the vanilla and yoghurt and then the bananas and walnuts. Mix briefly then remove.
3. Sift together the flour, bicarbonate soda, cinnamon and salt together in a large bowl and pour wet mixture onto the dry mixture, folding gently but thoroughly.
4. Pour mixture into pan and bake for 1 1/4 hours, or until a skewer comes out clean when tested. Cool in pan for 10 minutes then turn out onto a rack to cool.
