Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (356°F) and grease an 8-inch baking tin or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Mash ripe bananas in a large mixing bowl until smooth and creamy.
  3. Mix in the vegetable or coconut oil and soft light brown sugar until well combined.
  4. Add baking soda, baking powder, and plain white flour one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared tin and bake for 30 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
  6. Cool the bread in the tin for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

  8. Chill the ganache mixture in the refrigerator for about 45 minutes to firm up.
