avoca cafe banana bread

for some reason, while in ireland, i tend to crave the oddest things: cauliflower and cheese soup, brussel sprouts, banana bread, seaweed... i made banana bread this morning with this recipe from the avoca cafe cookbook:

8 oz plain flour
1 t. salt
1 heaped t. baking powder
1 t. cinnamon
4oz sugar
1 egg
3 oz oil
few drops of vanilla essence
2 1/2 oz pecan nuts, chopped
4 medium bananas, mashed


sift flour, salt, baking powder and cinnamon into a bowl, stir in sugar.
mix in egg, oil and vanilla essence, but do not beat.
fold in pecans and mashed bananas, using a fork. again do not beat.
bake for 50-60 mins

it's super gooey batter and super bananay result. i usually add walnuts instead of pecans and chocolate chips if i can find them (for some reason it's very difficult to find chocolate chips here)
