Method
Banana bread with honey butter & blueberries
1.Preheat oven to 170°C. Line a loaf tin with baking paper.
2.Beat butter and honey until light and creamy, then add the eggs and continue to beat for 2-3 minutes.
3.Add mashed bananas and stir these through with a wooden spoon (beating will mash them up too much). Add walnut pieces, vanilla and drained sultanas.
4.Using a third at a time and mixing well after each addition, sift in the flour, baking powder and baking soda.
5.Scrape mixture into prepared tin and bake in the middle of the oven for 1-1¼ hours or until a skewer inserted comes out clean.
6.Leave loaf to cool for 10 minutes before turning out of the tin to cool completely.
7.Serve slices with honey butter and fresh blueberries.

You mustn’t leave out the blueberries in this recipe – their fresh tartness goes so beautifully with the sweetness of banana and honey.
