This one of my favourite fruit breads because it's so easy and quick to make. There are many ways to make this bread, but this is a more common recipe that will make a mini loaf with about 14 serving.
Notes
- You can used stevia to reduce the calories.
- Make sure you use really ripe bananas.
- Most recipes will tell you to mash with a folk; however, I use a masher, it's much quicker.
Ingredients
- 3–4 very ripe bananas, mashed (about 400 g – 500 g peeled)
- 1 tbsp of caster sugar or stevia
- 100 g of oats
- 150 g of strong wholemeal flour
- 40 g sultanas soaked in water
- 1 tsp ground sweet cinnamon
- 1.5 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp of bicarbonate of soda
- 1 tbsp of distilled vinegar
- 140 ml of water
Apparatus
- H 6 cm x W 11 cm x D 21 cm loaf tin
- Large mixing bowl
- Wooden spoon
- Measuring spoons
- Spatula
Method
- Peel the bananas, break them up into small pieces and put in the bowl. Mash the bananas.
- Weigh out both the flour and oats in a large mixing bowl. Add the baking powder, sugar and spices. Mix with a wooden spoon.
- Add the water and combine into a sloppy dough with a wooden spoon.
- Add the sultanas and mix.
- Preheat the oven to 170 °C and grease the tin.
- Place on the lower middle shelf of the oven and bake for about 55 – 60 mins.
- When ready, test with a cake tester. If the cake tester is clean, leave to cool for about 10 minutes before turning out onto a cooling rack. Leave to cool completely, about 40 minutes.
