Banana-peanut bread recipe

Serves 10

Prep - 15 minutes

Cook - 50 minutes

olive oil cooking spray

3 very ripe bananas, mashed (about 1 cup or 240 g)

1⁄2 cup (125 g) natural peanut butter

2 eggs, at room temperature

1 tablespoon canola oil

1 1⁄2 cups (225 g) wholemeal flour

1⁄2 cup (50 g) rolled oats, finely ground in a blender

1⁄4 cup (55 g) sugar

2 tablespoons freshly ground linseeds

2 teaspoons baking powder

1⁄2 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda

 

1 Preheat the oven to 180°C. Lightly coat a loaf tin, measuring about 23 x 13 x 7 cm, with the cooking spray.

2 In a medium bowl, mix together the bananas, peanut butter, eggs and oil. In a large bowl, stir together the flour, oats, sugar, linseeds, baking powder and bicarbonate of soda.

3 Make a well in the centre of the flour mixture, add the banana mixture and stir just until moistened. Place batter in the tin.

4 Bake until a skewer inserted in the centre of the loaf comes out clean, about 40 to 50 minutes. Transfer to a rack and allow to cool for 5 minutes, then remove from the tin and allow to cool completely.
