Instructions:
  • Preheat the oven to 180ºC/350ºF/gas 4 and lightly grease a 1-litre loaf tin with butter using a folded-up piece of kitchen paper. In a large bowl, beat soft butter until creamy, then add and beat in the eggs. Mash 3 bananas and mix into the bowl with a fork. Stir in honey, apple juice, flour, and cinnamon until just combined. Fold in chopped pecans and spoon the mixture into the loaf tin. Top with sliced banana. Bake for 40-50 minutes until golden and cooked through. Check doneness with a skewer.
