Boyfriend Banana Bread

Boyfriend Banana Bread

Once in a while you find something that’s dependable, you know what to expect, it works out the way you want it to, looks good and makes a tasty snack. And then it gives you a brilliant banana bread recipe.

Well, it had to happen. At first, it was the endless posts, then the four bananas turning a shade of black on the kitchen counter, and lastly it was my boyfriend telling me that if I didn’t make banana bread then he would. The joys of dating someone who knows how to bake, and who is really good at it. We compromised and I made it using his recipe (that I had to edit slightly due to flour availability), which resulted in some of the tastiest banana bread I’ve ever baked.

So here we have it, Boyfriend Banana Bread.

Boyfriend Banana Bread

This recipe makes one large loaf of banana bread. It keeps for about 3-4 days if stored in an airtight container and is even better with a schmear of salted butter and a cup of coffee or tea. Overripe bananas are bananas which are beginning to go black. The riper the banana, the better the banana bread. Bananas which are yellow and perfect for eating as is do not make good banana bread! Take them as far as you can – when the fruit flies ascend they’re ready.

INGREDIENTS

  • 1/2 cup sunflower oil
  • 1 cup light brown sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3 or 4 medium-sized overripe bananas, mashed
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup cake flour
  • 1 cup nutty wheat flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup pecan nuts, chopped

 METHOD

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C, grease and lightly flour a large loaf tin.
  2. Combine the oil and sugar in a large mixing bowl and using a hand mixer or stand mixer, combine on high speed until light and creamy.
  3. Add the vanilla extract, mashed bananas and eggs, and continue mixing on high speed until smooth.
  4. Add the rest of the dry ingredients and mix on low speed until just combined.
  5. Pour into the loaf tin and bake for about an hour.
  6. Allow the bread to cool completely before slicing.
NOTES

If you can’t find nutty wheat flour you can substitute with brown bread, wholemeal or whole wheat flour. In a pinch, I’d crush All-Bran Flakes and mix them into white cake flour to make up two cups for the above.

✨NEW CURATED WALL ART✨ The first time I laid ✨NEW CURATED WALL ART✨

The first time I laid eyes on @littlelatsky’s ‘Resting Bitch Flakes’ at @zeitzmocaa when I was in Cape Town, I knew that I absolutely had to include it as part of my new online store’s Curated Collection. 

Very excited to announce that I’m now selling a few pieces from Little Latsky’s Pretty Average series (scroll to see all four). 

As someone who suffers from serious imposter syndrome and self-doubt, these pieces resonate with me BIG TIME. 

Carla is a South African designer and illustrator who works from home in Woodstock, Cape Town. She has experience designing editorial content, branding small businesses and illustrating. Latsky is her surname, it’s Polish (she isn’t) but most of her friends, teachers and colleagues have used it as a nickname from day 1, which she’s always liked. When Carla isn’t in front of her computer, you’ll find her making accessories, reading local zines or (pre-pandemic) in the crowds at exhibition openings and concerts in the city.

Available in sizes A3 - A0, printed on 230gm premium matte photo paper, framed, delivered and ready to hang. 

Choose from either a box frame in white or a narrow solid wood frame in kiaat, maple or natural.

A few years ago I became obsessed with plant-based A few years ago I became obsessed with plant-based dairy alternatives while I was living in Shanghai. The reason for this? Sudden onset adult acne. And so began my experimenting...

This Horchata Oat & Fig Bowl is made using homemade Horchata, a delicious rice-based drink originating from Mexico. That paired with oats, fresh figs from @thefigary, @buttanuttspreads Cinnamon Macadamia, raw honey and granola, and you’re in for a banging breakfast bowl 🙌🏼

My love/hate relationship with IG continues as I c My love/hate relationship with IG continues as I constantly battle the algorithm. I’m not alone though! 

Small business owners and content creators with very tiny or non-existent budgets to spend on paid advertising are working extremely hard trying to grow organically. 

It’s not so much about liking and commenting anymore, you need to save and share as well! These two actions are actually now deemed more important than a comment or like according to the IG algorithm. 

So if you’d like to support local, small content creators, brands and business owners, do us a fave and hit that save or share button. It might seem small and trivial but it goes a long way 🙌🏼

THANK FIG IT’S FIGGIN’ FRIDAY! Not sure abou THANK FIG IT’S FIGGIN’ FRIDAY! 

Not sure about you, but this has been one hellish week. We’re going away at the end of the month for a long weekend in the bush and counting the sleeps I’m so desperate. 

Nothing is going as planned. I’ve got suppliers who are out of stock of things I need, am finding suppliers who won’t sell me anything until I can guarantee spending a minimum of R50k a month with them (although, goals) and just generally feeling like a lot of the work I’m putting in isn’t going anywhere. Spend portions of my day either wondering why I’m bothering with my own business, or insanely inspired and motivated. It’s exhausting!

I’m definitely ready for the weekend...

The latest thing to come out of my small batch kit The latest thing to come out of my small batch kitchen - Caramelised White Chocolate Sauce. It’s been referred to as “crack”, and from the reactions of those who’ve tasted it I’m not surprised. This stuff is AHMAZING (if I do say so myself), especially on ice cream (because it turns into a beautiful chocolate shell when it gets cold). 

Grab a 300g jar from my website for R135 + delivery. 

If you’re an independent retailer who’d like to sell it, give me a shout for more info.
