110g butter, melted
225g mashed ripe bananas
1 teaspoon almond extract
200g plain flour
8 tablespoons desiccated coconut

1/2 teaspoon salt
60g chopped walnuts or crushed mixed nuts
125g glace cherries, chopped or mixed fruit
Method
Prep:20min › Cook:1hr › Ready in:1hr20min
Mix together flour, coconut, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda, salt, chopped walnuts and cherries.
Break eggs in a mixing bowl, and beat until light and frothy. Add sugar and melted butter. Beat well. Stir in mashed banana and flavouring. Add flour mixture, and stir just to combine. Spoon into greased 23x12cm (9x5 in) loaf tin.
Bake at 180 C / Gas 4 for 1 hour, or until a skewer inserted in centre comes out clean. Let stand for 10 minutes, and remove from tin. Cool.
ps. It works well with gluten free flour with half a teaspoon of xantham gum.
