  • 2 Bowls
  • 1 Hand whisk
  • 1 Fork

Preparation: banana loaf with Kinder bars

  • Place the bananas in a bowl and mash them with a fork. Add the oil and the milk, then mix vigorously. The bananas should be ripe so they release their sweetness and give creaminess to the mixture.

  • In a larger bowl place all the dry ingredients: flour, sugar, sifted baking powder and a pinch of salt.
    Mix them well and then gradually pour the liquid mixture into this bowl, stirring with a spoon to incorporate the liquids, but without overmixing—the batter should remain compact but a little grainy.

  • Grease and flour a loaf pan well (or line it with parchment paper) and pour in half of the batter.
    Place the Kinder bars in the center of the pan and pour the remaining batter over them so they stay in the middle of the cake.
    Finally, sprinkle the dark chocolate chips evenly over the top to garnish.

  • Bake the loaf in a preheated conventional (non-fan) oven at 356°F for about 40-45 minutes, checking doneness with a toothpick as usual.
    The cake can be served still warm, with the chocolate creamy, or cold. It keeps for 2 to 3 days if stored in a well-sealed container in the refrigerator.

  • But I doubt you’ll manage to save it for more than a few hours from the greedy hands of the little and big sweet-toothed members of your family…
