This is comfort food at it’s finest, the recipe is adapted from Sophie Dahl’s banana bread recipe<\/a> with a couple of additional twists that are all my own. I use spelt flour because my significant other has a wheat intolerance but basic plain wheat flour will work just fine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ingredients<\/strong>
75g soft butter
4 x Ripe bananas, fairly big ones
150g Demarara sugar
1 egg (beaten)
1 tablespoon of Vanilla Extract
1 teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda
1 pinch of salt (not necessary if you use salted butter)
250g Spelt flour
100ml Spiced dark rum (I use Dead Mans Fingers spiced rum<\/a>)
2 generous teaspoons of Honey (Local is what I use)
100g Dark chocolate chips<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Method<\/strong>
Preheat oven, 180C \/ 160C Fan \/ Gas Mk 4
I use a loaf tin and line it with baking parchment, you can also grease the tin if you won\u2019t wish to use parchment<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Mash the bananas with a fork in a large mixing bowl<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Mix in the butter,
    the sugar,
    the egg,
    the vanilla extract,
    3\/4 of the chocolate chips,
    the rum,
    and finally the honey<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Once these are all combined add the bicarbonate of soda and the salt.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Lastly mix in the flour.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Pour it all into the tin and sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips on top.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. Place in the oven. It needs at least an hour, often a little more.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  7. Do the stab test, I use a skewer, when there is no mixture sticking to the skewer when you withdraw it you can take the loaf out of the oven.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  8. Put it on a rack to cool.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    I mix everything by hand even though I have a Kenwood chef that can do it, it seems to taste better that way. The mixture should look something like the below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Wait until cooled then slice as wanted. A thick layer of salted butter makes it taste even better.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
