While I enjoy cooking, I’ve always considered myself more of a baker. I have truly always loved baking – and one of the very first recipes I learned was a banana bread recipe.  

Banana bread is such a good ol’ classic and it was a favourite in my household growing up. In fact, I can remember many Sundays where we would make banana bread for the week ahead, and I can remember how much I loved opening up my lunch to see a square of banana bread – it was a total treat to me. 

The thing about banana bread is that it seems everyone have a family recipe up their sleeve. But this honey oat banana bread recipe is one that I keep going back to – it’s delicious and it’s super, super, super easy to make.

Ingredients

• 4 cups self-rising flour
• 1⁄4 cup sugar
• 1 can carbonated drink (I used tonic water)
• 1⁄2 cup melted butter
• 1⁄4 cup oats
• 2 bananas
• honey (drizzled)

Instructions

1. Preheat over to 375 degrees
2. Take your loaf pan, and grease it using either margarine or butter.
3. Mix flour, carbonated drink, sugar, butter, oats, and 1 banana in a bowl. (You may have to use your hands to help squish and mix the banana in)
4. Once mixed together, pour mixture into greased pan-
5. Cut second banana into thin slices and place on the top of the mixture. I just placed them ontop in rows of 3-4. 
6. Then place the pan in the oven for 50 – 60 minutes (check occasionally to ensure it’s not burning)
7. Remove from oven and brush some melted butter ontop. 
8. Let rest for 5-10 minutes and then turn over.
9. – Drizzle honey overtop
