Banana Butterscotch Mini Loaf Cakes

Today I decided to make my own recipe and at the same time use my new mini loaf tin that I bought a few months back. I was going to incorporate blueberries with banana but then remembered I had a big bag of butterscotch chips in the cupboard that would be the perfect combination and so my creation was born! These pale golden mini loaves were everything I was hoping for, they are moist, succulent and packed with that luscious distinctive butterscotch flavour. All in all these are delicious and my boys love them, so that makes me a happy baker ;o)

Banana Butterscotch Mini Loaf Cakes

Makes 5 to 6 mini loaf cakes

Ingredients
100g unsalted butter, softened
90g golden caster sugar
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
130g self-raising flour
50g butterscotch chips
1 large banana

Preheat the oven to 180oC/fan oven 160oC. Lightly grease the tins.

Beat the butter until light. Add the sugar and beat till light and fluffy. Add one egg and sift 1 tbsp of flour. Mix in well. Add 2nd egg the same way and add 1 tsp vanilla and mix. Sift in the rest of the flour and mix well. Fold in the butterscotch chips. Cut the banana in slices. Fill the tins one third of the way up. Place slices (about 3) of banana in each tin and push down slightly. Cover each banana with the rest of the mixture. Bake for 25-30 minutes. Leave to cool in the tins for 5 minutes then turn out onto a cooling rack.
