"description": "The loaf that started a thousand arguments about whose recipe is better. Moist, dense, naturally sweet, and the best use of those sad black bananas sitting on your counter right now.",
"ingredients": [
"3 very ripe bananas",
"200g plain flour",
"80g butter, melted",
"150g brown sugar",
"2 eggs",
"1 teaspoon vanilla extract",
"1 teaspoon baking soda",
"1 teaspoon cinnamon",
"1 pinch salt",
"60g walnuts or chocolate chips (optional)"
],
"instructions": [
"Preheat oven to 175°C / 350°F. Grease a standard loaf tin and line with parchment paper.",
"Peel bananas and mash in a large bowl until completely smooth.",
"Whisk in melted butter, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until combined.",
"Sprinkle in flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Fold gently until just combined — stop the moment you can't see dry flour. Fold in walnuts or chocolate chips if using.",
"Pour into the prepared loaf tin and bake for 55-65 minutes until a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean.",
"Cool in the tin for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack. Slice only when fully cool."
