Servings: persons

3 bananas, over-ripe (there will be black spots all over the skin)
125 g unsalted butter, melted
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 ¾ cups plain flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
1 pinch salt
1 cup caster sugar
½ cup cocoa powder
½ cup white chocolate chips
½ cup walnuts, coarsely chopped (can use pecans or hazelnuts instead)

1
Preheat oven to 180 degrees C with a rack positioned in the centre of the oven.
2
Grease a loaf pan, and place a square of baking paper in the pan, allowing the paper to overhang over the long sides of the pan (to easily remove the loaf once cooked).
3
Place the flour, baking powder, bicarb soda, sugar, salt and cocoa in a large bowl.
4
Use a fork to combine the dry ingredients together.
5
In another bowl, use a fork to mash the bananas.
6
Add the eggs, vanilla and melted butter, and mix together well.
7
Make a well in the dry ingredients and pour in the banana mixture.
8
Use a wooden spoon to fold everything together, until the batter is just combined (don't overmix).
9
Ensure there are no areas of unmixed flour at the bottom of the bowl.
10
Fold in the white chocolate chips.
11
Spoon batter into the loaf pan (it should be quite thick and smell fantastic).
12
Scatter over the chopped nuts.
13
Bake for 55 mins to 1 hour, until a skewer inserted into the centre of the loaf comes out clean.
14
Cool 5-10 mins in the loaf pan, and then remove to a wire rack.
15
Delicious warm as a dessert, or at room temperature with a cup of tea.
