- Preheat oven to 180 degrees C. Line a loaf pan with baking paper.
- In a medium bowl, beat the sugar and butter until smooth and creamy. Beat in the eggs, water and bananas until well blended.
- Mix in the flour, bicarb soda, salt and baking powder until the mixture is just moistened. Be sure to scrape the sides of the bowl to blend all ingredients.

- When bread is removed from oven, allow it to cool on it's side for 10 minutes, then remove from the pan and let cool on a wire rack.

Used different ingredients. I replaced the butter in this recipe with 2 tablespoons apple sauce and used egg whites instead of whole eggs. This made it virtually fat free. It still came out as moist and delicious as ever!!! - 14 Jul 2008
Used different ingredients. I, too substituted apple sauce for the butter and used only egg whites, making this virtually fat-free. To battle my fiance's chocolate cravings, I added cocoa powder to half the batter and made a two-layer loaf. yum! Thanks for the healthy and versatile recipe! - 14 Jul 2008
Something else. I added some sliced bananas to the mixture and on the top of the bread. Delicious!! I occasionally add strawberries or berries to make a fruit cake - 16 Oct 2010
