I also reduce the sugar by about a quarter and it's perfect for our family. The full amount would be too sweet for us. Am writing this after maybe about my fourth time using the receipt and this time I reduced the sugar even more and put in (real) maple syrup for a deeper flavour. Fingers crossed it works. Ran out of cinnamon so just put in nutmeg and I prefer that. Have added chocolate chips before and it's worked out great too., approved=true, user_name=Kat, hs_createdate=1702249860224, rating_new__1_5_=5, id=11175607331}, {comment_text=Was borderline burnt and very gluggy in the middle. I would add less milk and more flour next time. Also cook lower temp for longer to avoid burning.

Method

Preheat oven to 180°C bake. Grease and line a loaf pan (approximately 22-24cm x 13cm).
Beat butter, Chelsea Caster Sugar and Chelsea Soft Brown Sugar together until pale and creamy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.

Sift in flour, baking powder and cinnamon. Stir a couple of times to partially mix in.

In a separate smaller bowl, dissolve baking soda in milk. Add to butter mixture with bananas and walnuts, if using. Mix until combined.

Pour batter into prepared loaf pan. Bake for 1 hour or until a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean. Leave to cool in tin for 10 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack.
