When life gives you vrot bananas… make banana bread!

Standard

Vrot (this is the Afrikaans word for rotten or overripe – pronounced “frot”).

Overripe bananas have loads more flavour than fresh ones do. The browner and smooshier, the better!

Vrot Banana Bread RecipeĀ 

2.3 cups mashed vrot bananas
2 cups flour
1 tsp baking powder
125ml soft butter
190ml brown sugar
2 eggs, beaten
1 pinch salt

Preheat the oven to 175 degrees Celcius. Lightly grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
Sift dry ingredients together.
In a separate jug cream the butter and sugar together. Add the eggs and banana to the butter mixture. Mix well.
Pour banana mixture into flour, mix until the flour is all moistened (not too much or the bread will become too dense). Pour into the loaf pan.
Bake for 60 – 65 minutes. Allow to cool for 10 minutes before turning out.
