If you're still going bonkers for banana bread, here's Mary Berry's classic version of the popular loaf cake for you to have a go at baking.
1. Preheat the oven to 180C / Fan 160C / Gas 4. 2. Lightly grease a 2lb loaf tin, then line the base and sides with baking parchment 3. Measure all ingredients into a mixing bowl and beat for about 2 minutes, until well blended 4. Spoon the mixture into the tin and level the surface 5. Bake in the pre-heated oven for about 1 hour, until well risen and golden brown. A fine skewer inserted in the centre should come out clean if the loaf is ready. 6. Leave to cool in the tin for a few minutes, then turn out, peel of the parchment and finish cooling on a wire rack.
