St Lucien Banana Bread
 |
| Use ingredients with the Fairtrade label to make St Lucien banana bread. |
Ingredients
Serves 8-10
Prep time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 1hr-1hr 20 mins
100g butter, softened
225g Sainsbury's Fairtrade caster sugar
2 medium eggs, lightly beaten
4 Sainsbury's Fairtrade bananas, peeled and thoroughly mashed
225g plain flour, sifted
2tsp baking powder
Pinch salt
50g shelled walnuts, chopped
Method
Preheat the oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Grease and line a 20 x 12cm loaf tin.
Beat together the butter and sugar until creamy, then gradually stir in the eggs, little by little until fully incorporated. Stir the mashed bananas with the flour, baking powder and salt into the mixture until well blended, then fold in the nuts.
Spoon into the prepared tin and bake in the oven for one hour to one hour 20 minutes until well-risen and golden brown. Transfer to a cooling rack and serve in slices.
Grigson says: "An increasing range of Fairtrade food is now available at a variety of shops and supermarkets.
Sainsbury's range includes bananas which are 100 per cent Fairtrade and a large percentage come from the Windward Isles, including St Lucia."
