Ingredients
  

  • 90g dairy-free butter or margarine (I use Stork Block)
  • 125g caster sugar
  • 1 egg beaten
  • 250g plain flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • pinch of salt
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • pinch of dried nutmeg (a grating of fresh nutmeg, if you prefer)
  • 2 ripe bananas - mashed. (Can use three bananas if you prefer a stronger taste)
  • 60g dairy-free chocolate drops (or pecans, raisins, or other dried fruit)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 180C or Gas 4
  • Grease a 1kg loaf tin.
  • Cream dairy-free butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
  • Slowly mix in the beaten egg.
  • Sift the flour, baking powder, salt, and spices together. Add this to the butter, sugar, and egg mixture. The mixture might look dry at this stage.
  • Add the mashed bananas and give it a good stir to ensure it is evenly mixed.
  • Optional. Add pecans, raisins, or dairy-free chocolate chips if desired. Ensure they are evenly mixed in.
  • Spoon into the prepared loaf tin.
  • Bake in the oven for 50 minutes. Test with a knife or skewer. If it comes away clean it is cooked. If not then cook for a further 10 minutes and check again.
  • To serve, best sliced with a bread knife.
