Try this popular Malawian recipe for Banana Bread.

Christian Aid’s Christmas Appeal focuses on our work in Malawi this year. In Malawi, one of the foods that people love to eat is nthochi, or banana bread, as a sweet treat, and for breakfast. You can find it everywhere, and it’s always fun to stop and chat to those selling it at roadside stalls and markets to find out how they make their own version.

Every baker puts their own twist on it. Some people use palm sugar or replace some of the plain flour with nsinjiro (peanut flour) or use coconut oil instead of butter.
