Re: Cinnamon swirl banana bread
I took one look at this recipe and made it. It's in the oven now.

Re: Cinnamon swirl banana bread
This is what mine turned out like.
Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead. Do not walk ahead of me, for I may not follow. Do not walk beside me either, just fuck off and leave me alone.

Looks amazing. That's exactly what L's looked like on Friday. I need some more of it in my life!

Mine's still cooling down but a few bits fell off getting it out of the silicone tin and it is LUSH.

Re: Cinnamon swirl banana bread
Oooh, that looks lovely!
Re: Cinnamon swirl banana bread
Mine is in the oven right now, though I was a bit haphazard with the measuring so I fear slightly for its edibility.
Re: Cinnamon swirl banana bread
I just made this again but TMT was down so I had to guess at the recipe. I seem to have guessed a little wrong as much of the inside exploded out and oozed all over the place. I have a pile of cake chunks instead of cake. It still tastes good, a little on the sweet side maybe. The first one was better. Less oozy.
Re: Cinnamon swirl banana bread
Mine worked a treat! Well it didn't rise very much (does that mean not enough bicarb?) but apart from that it was great. It was quite puddingy, whereas I expected it to be more cakey, if that makes sense. But I approved of that.
Re: Cinnamon swirl banana bread
NOM! Mine burnt on the top due to crappy oven and was quite soggy due to the vast quantities of banana that I used, but it has been given the thumbs-up by me, boyfriend and friend. Thank you!
My friend re-named it Cinnamon Smile Banana Bread because the cinnamon layer went U-shaped. Awww.
ETA: I've just discovered that G&B is now divided into two boards, I must be the slowest Turtler in the West.

Re: Cinnamon swirl banana bread
Tried this on Sunday and it is delicious! Thanks for the recipe Pip I'm going to make it again to use up the rest of my black bananas that are in the freezer.

Re: Cinnamon swirl banana bread
Were people using 1lb loaf tins or 2lbs (I don't have a ruler to check Pip's measurements). I only have a 1lber, but could do two small ones, I guess?
Re: Cinnamon swirl banana bread
How do you know how many lbs your loaf will weigh according to the size of the tin? Doesn't it depend what ingredients you use, or have I completely misunderstood?
I used a normal sized loaf tin which sounds like it would be about 9x5, I didn't measure.
No need to thank me for this fantastically informative post.

Re: Cinnamon swirl banana bread
That's just how you buy them, innit?
Lakeland's 2lb loaf tin is 9 x 5 x 2 3/4 so that helps

Re: Cinnamon swirl banana bread
I didn't know that! The more I thought about it the more I thought mine must be a 2lb-er, and Lakeland has validated me .
So there you go. Happy bananabread making .

Re: Cinnamon swirl banana bread
I bought a 2lb loaf tin rather than fart about with converting only half the recipe. I used Beena's conversions and it smells lovley. I had a tiny taster this morning when trying to fit the cake into a box to take to work

Re: Cinnamon swirl banana bread
Still an excellent way to use up overripe bananas.
