Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray one 9x5x3 inch loaf pan with a non-stick cooking spray.
- In a medium bowl, beat the white sugar and margarine or butter until smooth and creamy. Beat in the eggs, water and bananas with the sugar mixture until it is well blended.
- Mix in the flour, baking soda, salt and baking powder just until the mixture is moistened. Be sure to scrape the sides of the bowl to blend all ingredients.
- Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degree C) for about 60 minutes. Bread is done when the top is firm to the touch and a golden brown color. Time will vary according to loaf size and oven type. When bread is removed from oven, allow it to cool on it's side for 10 minutes, then remove from pan and let cool on a rack. This bread is also excellent if you add mini chocolate chips or small fruit pieces to the mix just before baking.

Steps:
- Grown ups: Preheat the oven to 180C/ 160C fan/ gas mark 4. Grease and line a 450g loaf/1lb tin with baking parchment.
- Children: Weigh the flour, baking powder, cinnamon and sultanas into a bowl and mix with a wooden spoon. Then weigh the butter, vanilla essence, egg, milk and mashed bananas and put into another bowl or jug and mix with a small balloon whisk or fork. Pour the 'wet' banana mixture into the 'dry' flour mixture and combine thoroughly with a wooden spoon. Weighing needs to be very accurate when baking so help older children to measure carefully. Younger children can also get involved by spooning or pouring into the scales with adult supervision. Younger children can also beat the egg with a fork and mash the banana with a potato masher.
- Grown ups: Pour the cake mixture into the prepared tin and bake for 30 - 40 mins or until a skewer inserted in the middle comes out clean. Remove from the oven, allow to cool in the tin for 10 mins then turn out.
- Children: Drizzle with agave syrup if using.

Tips:
- Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your bread will be. If you don't have any ripe bananas on hand, you can ripen them quickly by placing them in a paper bag with an apple for a few hours.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make your bread tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the bread at a moderate temperature: Baking the bread at a moderate temperature will help it to rise evenly and prevent it from overcooking.
- Let the bread cool completely before slicing it: This will help to prevent the bread from crumbling.
Conclusion:
These are just a few tips for making delicious, healthy banana bread. With a little practice, you'll be able to create your own favorite recipe. So next time you have a bunch of ripe bananas, don't let them go to waste! Make a loaf of banana bread instead.
