Hazelnut Honey Banana Bread

A moist, tender banana bread sweetened with Honey One Hazelnut Honey and topped with a nutty honey glaze. The perfect way to use up overripe bananas — if it lasts long enough to matter.

Makes 1 loaf (about 10 slices) · Preparation: 15 minutes · Cooking: 55 minutes

Ingredients

• 3 very ripe bananas, mashed
• 100g unsalted butter, melted
• 100g light brown soft sugar
• 3 tbsp Honey One Hazelnut Honey, plus 2 tbsp for the glaze
• 2 medium eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 225g self-raising flour
• 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
• 75g roasted hazelnuts, chopped

Method

1. Heat the oven to 160°C fan / 180°C conventional. Grease and line a 900g loaf tin.
2. Whisk the mashed bananas with the melted butter, sugar, 3 tablespoons of Hazelnut Honey, eggs and vanilla.
3. Fold in the flour, bicarbonate of soda, a pinch of salt and half the hazelnuts until just combined.
4. Pour into the tin and bake for 50–55 minutes, until risen, golden and a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.
5. Cool in the tin for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack.
6. Warm the remaining Hazelnut Honey until loose, brush over the top of the warm loaf and scatter with the remaining hazelnuts.
