Banana Bread with Breadmaker

I have been waiting for my bananas to get really ripe so i could make really moist and full of banana aroma bread.  This is the first time i have made this in my breadmaker, so was not sure how it would turned out, but at the end i am pleasantly surprised.  Even Mr C, who was thinking its rather strange to bake bread with banana... really enjoyed it :)
When i bite into it, its really moist, and have a hint of sweetness, but not sickly.

I taken this recipe from allrecipes.co.uk, but added things extra to suit my taste.



















Ingredients:

260g (9 oz) Plain flour
1 tspn Baking Powder 
1/2 tspn Bicarbonate of Soda
150g (5 oz) Caster sugar
3 Tbspn Vegetable oil
2 Eggs
3 Bananas, peeled and slightly mashed
1 tspn Vanilla Essence
dash of Milk

Method:

1)Place ingredients in the pan of the bread machine.
2)Select the Dough setting and press start. Mix the bread for 10mins. If necessary, use a rubber spatula to push the dough from the sides of the bread pan. When time is up, press Stop. Do not continue mixing.
3) Smooth out the top of the loaf with the rubber spatula.
4) Select the Bake setting, and press Start. The Bake cycle time may vary with machines, but should be about 50mins. To test the the bread for doneness, insert a cocktail stick into the centre top. Remove the cocktail stick. If the bread is done, the cocktail stick will come out clean. If there is dough on the cocktail stick, reset the machine on Bake and continue to bake for an additional 10-15mins. Test again with the cocktail stick to assure the bread is completely baked.
5) Remove the pan from the machine, but allow the bread to remain in the pan for 10mins. Remove the bread to cool completely on a wire rack.

Happy Baking!
