150g bar Green & Black's Butterscotch chocolate, chopped
150g pot natural yogurt
100g (3½oz) pecans, chopped
1-2tbsp Demerara sugar
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 170°C (150°C fan) mark 3. Grease and line a 1.4kg (3lb) loaf tin with greaseproof paper.
Step 2
Put the flour, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda and salt into a large bowl and mix together.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, beat together the sugar and eggs until pale and fluffy. Stir in the bananas, chocolate, yogurt and 50g (2oz) pecans, followed by the flour mixture.
Step 4
Spoon into tin; sprinkle with remaining pecans and the demerara. Bake for 1hr or until a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean. Cool in the tin, turn out and slice. To freeze, wrap in greaseproof paper and clingfilm and freeze for up to one month. Then thaw overnight at cool room temperature before serving.
An experienced and highly skilled team of food writers, stylists and digital content producers, the Good Housekeeping Cookery Team is a close-knit squad of food obsessives. Cookery Editor Emma Franklin is our resident chilli obsessive and barbecue expert, who spends an inordinate amount of time on holidays poking round the local supermarkets seeking out new and exciting foods. Senior Cookery Writer Alice Shields is a former pastry chef and baking fanatic who loves making bread and would have peanut butter with everything if she could. Her favourite carb is pasta, and our vibrant green spaghetti is her weeknight go-to. Lover of all things savoury, Senior Cookery Writer Grace Evans can be found eating crispy corn and nocellara olives at every opportunity, and will take the cheeseboard over dessert any time (though she cannot resist a slice of tres leches cake). With a wealth of professional kitchen know-how, culinary training and years of experience between them, they are all dedicated to ensuring every Good Housekeeping recipe is the best it can be, so you can trust they’ll work (and if they don’t – we’ll have the answer for why*) every time (*90% of the time the answer is: “buy an separate oven thermometer”!).
