Ingredients

• 80g salted butter, softened (plus extra for greasing)

• 200g Mini Egg Butter

• 200g caster sugar

• 4 large eggs, beaten

• 280g self-raising flour

• 2 tsp baking powder

• 2 very ripe bananas, mashed

Method

Step 1: Prep your tin
Preheat your oven to 180°C (160°C fan/gas mark 4). Grease a loaf tin or cake tin with butter and line it with baking parchment to prevent sticking.

Step 2: Cream the base
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, Mini Egg Butter and caster sugar until light and fluffy. Slowly add the beaten eggs, with a small amount of the flour, mixing well between each addition.

Step 3: Add the dry ingredients
Gently fold in the remaining flour, baking powder, and mashed bananas. Be careful not to overmix—this helps keep the loaf light and tender.

Step 4: Bake to perfection
Pour the mixture into your prepared tin and smooth the top. Bake for around 1.5 hours. Start checking from the 50 minute mark by inserting a skewer into the centre—if it comes out clean, it’s ready. Baking times can vary depending on your oven and tin shape, so keep an eye on it.

Step 5: Cool and serve
Leave the loaf to cool in the tin for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely (if you can wait that long!).

Tips for the Best Banana Bread

• Use very ripe bananas – the darker and softer, the better for flavour and sweetness.

• Don’t overmix – gently folding the batter keeps the texture soft and fluffy.

• Check early – every oven is different, so start testing before the full bake time is up.

• Make it extra indulgent – sprinkle crushed Mini Eggs on top for added crunch and decoration.

Serving Suggestions

Slice thickly and serve slightly warm for the ultimate comfort treat.

This Mini Egg Banana Bread is the perfect way to use up overripe bananas while adding a seasonal, chocolatey twist. Once you try it, you might never go back to plain banana bread again!
