Ingredients:

1/2 cup butter
110g
1/3 cup honey
80g
2 cups self-raising flour
300g
1 cup all-purpose white wheat flour
120g
1 tsp baking soda
5g
1 tsp baking powder
5g
1 tsp cinnamon
5g
1 dash salt
1g
1/2 cup brown sugar
120g
1 cup milk (1% fat)
240g
2 eggs
100g
2 bananas
240g

Instructions:

1. Preparation:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease a standard loaf pan, or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
2. Mix Wet Ingredients:
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, honey, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Stir in the mashed bananas until well incorporated.
3. Combine Dry Ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the self-raising flour, all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and a dash of salt.
4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
- Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing to ensure a tender loaf.
5. Bake the Loaf:
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 55-65 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.
6. Cool and Serve:
- Allow the loaf to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.
- Transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Tips:

- Ensure the butter is at room temperature for easy mixing.

- Ripe bananas with brown spots will add more sweetness and moisture.

- Do not overmix the batter; a few lumps are okay.

- Allow the loaf to cool completely before slicing to retain its shape.

- Store the loaf in an airtight container for up to 3 days or in the fridge for up to a week.
