I've just made my second round of (revised) banana bread - based on Z's recipe, with a few changes, here it is; went down very well last Friday night at D's:

Ingredients
225g softened unsalted butter
250g caster sugar
2 large egg yolks
225g plain flour
1 tsp baking powder
½ teaspoon cinnamon
½ teaspoon salt
3 medium-sized ripe bananas
1 teaspoon vanilla essence
5 large egg white, whisked

Method
1 Preheat oven to 180C/ 350F/ gas mark 4
2 Mix butter and sugar
3 Add eggs yolks to mixture and continue to beat
4 Add flour, baking powder, salt, bananas, vanilla cinnamon and blend well
5 Fold in whisked egg whites
6 Pour batter into a greased 2lb loaf tin (preferably with a paper doodar inside) and bake in preheated oven for 60 minutes. Keep a careful eye on it – it’s done when a skewer comes out clean.

Of course I've still not worked out what to do with the remaining three egg yolks, apart from make mayonnaise. Helpful suggestions welcomed.
