Preheat your oven to 160 C . Grease and dust your loaf pan with flour. Mash up the bananas. You could also puree it in a mixer. I just like the extra flavour of bits of banana in the bread.

If you are using the cinnamon raisin , melt the butter and mix in the sugars until thick. Add the raisins .

Sift together all the dry ingredients like flour , salt , soda and sugar in a large bowl .

Whisk together the honey , eggs , oil , milk , vanilla and bananas in another bowl until smooth.

Add the liquid mixture to the dry and whisk until smooth.

Pour batter into prepared pan.

Now add the cinnamon and raisin. You could swirl it in or just add it on top . Or alternate part batter and mixture as I have done.

Bake for an hour to an hour ten mins at 160 C until toothpick inserted in centre comes out with few moist crumbs. Cool in pan 5 mins and then on a rack until completely cool.
