Banana, honey, yoghurt and hazelnut bread

As usual when I make banana bread, it's to use up very ripe bananas which I've secretly been not eating for days so I've got just this excuse! Today I've added toasted hazelnuts, natural yoghurt and a mixture of honey and brown sugar, but for a plain banana bread recipe my old faithful one is here.

Ingredients

10 oz self-raising flour

1 ½ tsp baking powder

Pinch salt

3-4 really ripe bananas, mashed

4 tbsp natural yoghurt

5 oz (1/2 cup) honey

1 tsp vanilla extract

4 oz margarine

3 oz soft brown sugar

2 eggs, lightly beaten

3 oz toasted hazelnuts, chopped

Method 

1. Pre-heat the oven to 180°C and grease and line a 9" x 5" loaf tin.
2. Sift together the flour, baking powder and salt, and set aside.
3. In a jug, combine the bananas, yoghurt, honey and vanilla. Set aside.
4. In the bowl of a mixer, cream the margarine and sugar until fluffy.
5. Add the beaten eggs a little at a time, beating after each addition.
6. Alternately add the flour mixture and banana mixture, continuing to beat as you go.
7. Fold in the hazelnuts.
8. Pour the mixture into the prepared tin.
9. Bake for about an hour, until a cake tester inserted comes out clean.
10. Leave to cool for 5-10 mins before turning out onto a wire rack to cool completely for 30 mins before cutting.
