Butterscotch Banana Bread

This recipe started out with 4 really ripe bananas and some butterscotch chips that I picked up the other day at the grocery store on a whim!

Serves: About 6
Preparation time: 15 minutes. Bake time: 60 minutes

2 cups cake flour
8 tbsp butter
1/2 cup greek yogurt
1/2 cup sugar
4 bananas, overly ripe (skins are almost blackened)
1 tbsp vanilla
2 large eggs
1 tspsalt
1 tsp baking soda
3/4 tsp baking powder
3/4 cup toasted walnuts
1 tsp butter (to grease the pan)
*1 cup butterscotch chips
1/4 cup caster sugar or 1/2 cup maple syrup (garnish)

Sift the flour, baking powder, soda and salt. Set aside
Cream the sugar and butter until light and fluffy
Puree the bananas with the yogurt, eggs and vanilla
Mix with the sugar and butter until combined

Add the wet to the dry in 3 batches, mix well until you see no lumps
Stir in the walnuts and butterscotch chips into the cake batter
Grease a 9 inch loaf tin with 1 tsp butter
Pour the batter into the pan evenly

Bake at 350F for 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake, comes out almost clean (a few crumbs are ok since this is a moist cake)
Remove from the oven and cool for 10 minutes before trying to turn out from the tin.
Sift the caster sugar or swish the maple syrup across the top of the cake before serving (optional)

* Can substitute chocolate chips,  cranberries, chopped dates etc in place of butterscotch. They all make for a tasty treat.
