Chocolatey .. Nutty.. Banana Loaf

Have black spotty, over cooked bananas..wait don't check 'em out. These are at their best when you are craving a good ol' banana loaf :)
They are super sweet and bring a very nice flavour to the loaf. Add some white chocolate and nuts and you have a the most fudgy, sweet tasting, mind you not sickly sweet! Banana Loaf. I baked this late night as usual and I think this is going to stick with me. I couldn't resist this, I had a slice almost every day, warm it up in the microwave for 30 sec and it will taste delish ! I think this is one of my best ever loafs. Try it and tell me if you loved it as much as me or if you made any alterations.

Here is what you need if you want to back this loaf:

• 2 large Bananas - mashed.
• Handful of roasted Pecan nuts, substitute with whatever nuts you like, walnuts, almond, macadamia all bake nicely.
• 150 gms white chocolate - cut in chunks
• 1/2 tspoon - vanilla paste
• 175 gms whole meal flour - self raising, use white wheat flour if you cant get hold of Wholemeal flour
• 100 gms - light brown sugar
• 75 gms - dark muscavado sugar
• 175 gms butter
• 2 medium organic eggs
• 2 table spoons demarara sugar - for sprinkling on top 

Lets Bake!
Prepare your loaf tin
Turn on the oven to 180 degrees, so that the oven is nice and hot when you put the loaf in, we are going to bake for 30 mins.

1. Beat the light brown sugar, muscavado sugar and butter together till they are light and fluffy
2. Beat the eggs and add 1 at a time, it will avoid the mixture from splitting. Don't worry even if it does.
3. Add the banana a bit by bit, add some flour as you go along. If you put the whole banana as it is you will see the mixture curdles, but again does not matter, it will not affect the taste of the loaf.
4. Add the coarsely chopped pecans, roast them before you chop them. I do it the easy way. I just bundle them up in a tea towel and bash them with a rolling pin.
5. Add the Vanilla paste.
6. Add the flour and give everything a good mix.
7. The mixture will be a little runny so don't worry if it looks runnier than a standard cake batter.
8. Pour the mix in the prepared tin and sprinkle over the demarara sugar. This will give you a really nice crust on the loaf
9. Bake on the medium shelf, so that the sugar does not burn.
10. Bake for 30 mins at 180 degrees. Check the skewer comes cleanish. Since there is banana there it will not come out perfectly clean.

Happy Baking :-)
