How to Make It
This banana slice is great when you don’t have enough ripe bananas for a cake or bread since you’ll only need two for this recipe. Everything else should look pretty familiar if you’ve made banana bread or cake before, with the addition of chocolate chips and walnuts, as well as cinnamon and nutmeg. These additions easily make up for the fact that we’re using a few less bananas here.
I’ve gone on about my love for slices vs cakes before and it’s no different for this recipe. Not only does it make it so simple to share, but making it in a slice tin means everything cooks quicker too, so it only takes 20-30 minutes in the oven to bake. This is much less than the average time of about an hour for a bread or cake.
The process to make this is fast as well. Once you have your butter melted and your bananas mashed (I use a potato masher or a fork), we simply mix the dry ingredients together in a bowl before adding in the wet ingredients. This all gets combined before being poured into a prepared tray and baked in the oven. Then we just wait for it to cool before slicing it and serving!
How to Store
This banana slice will last up to 3 days stored in a sealed container at room temperature. It can also be frozen for up to 3 months.
