Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (fan) or 200°C (conventional) and grease a 12-hole mini loaf tin.
  2. In a mixing bowl, beat together unsalted butter and golden caster sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition; consider adding a spoonful of flour with each egg.
  4. Gently fold in the self-raising flour until just combined, avoiding overmixing.
  5. Mash the ripe bananas and fold them into the batter until fully incorporated.
  6. For variations, fold in chocolate chips, Biscoff spread, or walnuts and cinnamon as desired.
  7. Bake for 18-20 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
  8. Cool the mini loaves in the tin for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
