Nutty Banana Bars Recipe

50g/2 oz butter or margarine, softened
75 g/3 oz caster (superfine) or soft brown sugar
2 large bananas, chopped
175 g/6 oz plain (all-purpose) flour
7.5 ml/1.5 tsp baking powder
2 eggs, beaten
50g/2 oz walnuts, roughly chopped

Method:

Cream together the butter or margarine and sugar. Mash the bananas and stir into the mixture. Mix the flour and baking powder. Add the flour, eggs and nuts to the bananas mixture and beat well. Spoon into a greased and lined 18 x 28 cm/7 x 11 in cake tin, level the surface and bake in a preheated oven at 160°C/325°F/gas mark 3 for 30-35 minutes until springy to the touch. Leave to cool for a few minutes in the tin, then turn out on to a wire rack to finish cooling. Cut into about 14 bars.
